The Lost Trails ATV Park


	The Lost Trails… I have to thank you all for a great day. My friends and I from the NJ~ATV Association had an awesome time. You run a first class operation. For any of you out there who are thinking of coming to Lost Trails -Stop Thinking- get in the car and get out there. The trails were great. I loved the tight wood trails that crisscrossed up and down the mountain. The view from the top of look out point is fantastic. You can see almost all of the Ski slopes of Camel Back Mountain. Thanks again for a great day we will see you soon. Bill NJ~ATV Association --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Tony, I came out to your park on Saturday with my boyfriend Ed and my brother in law. I found much more than I expected. I think your park is great!! I have been to Paragon and Hatfield and McCoy in WVA...and by far your park is a great family park as well as a great park for the hardcore ATVer. Your family at the check-in desk was great as well. Your wife gave me some good advice to ride with you on the tour. She was right, the ride was great. My daughter, who is 11, took a tumble and is a little afraid to get back on her bike. I told her we found a great park and a great bunch of people she can feel safe riding with. I appreciate all you have done for the ATV community and I look forward to enjoying my time in your park with my family and friends. We will be sure to spread the word on the great park you have. If there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, Vicky _______________________________________________________ Went to Lost Trails on Thursday Sept 20th--went with 6 other guys--had an awesome time there--some of the best riding I have ever done! The trails there range from easy all the way up too winch your way out difficult. There is a New trail of Eastwood-unreal how hard it was to get up this hill-between the incline and the way the wet rocks are on this hill-it is a great challenge to make it up there:-)Only 3 of us went up-we had to winch one quad up, have 2 guys grab the front rack to keep from flipping(that was me cause I hesitated at the top-lol-hint-DONT HESITATE LOL) the other guy made it right up cause he didn’t hesitate lol-I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HAVING GUYS STAND AT THE TOP OF THE HILL TO GRAB THE FRONT END JUST IN CASE!! The mud bogs were great-in the pond area and another good one off Eastwood--I can’t imagine how there gonna be after some rain!! The whole day was awesome--Tony (the owner) and Chris (his son) were great people. From The Tapan Zee Bridge, it took us just under 2 hrs--definitely worth the trip, cant wait to go back there!! Too bad NY can’t wake up and have some place like this for us to ride. All in all this place was awesome-I recommend bringing some food-you can order out and have it delivered or you can take your car to go to a deli, but if you don’t want to leave the place for anything-bring your lunch with you. I will try to post a few pics, if it works lol BRUTE CENTRAL FORUMS \ _______________________________________________________ If you get a chance make your way to the Lost Trails in PA! This place is by far one of the best places I have ridden in a while, we took the bikes out yesterday and had a blast the mud pics are in the gallery and it was well worth double what we paid to ride all day long. Even though it was a fairly cold day we had a blast and never felt the cold it was so much fun.. Yes the water holes are deep and the trails are great. We were the first ones in the park and the last to leave it was a great time , spoke with the owner and his son I believe they are great people and I look forward to heading back out there in the spring. www.northeastatv.net (scottp) To All at Lost Trails... What A Great Place! I paid a visit to your park on Saturday (4/19/08) and I must say it's without a doubt one of the premier riding spots anywhere near the Tr-State area (and beyond!). I didn't even get to explore half the park but, from what I did get to explore, I was thoroughly impressed! Clearly marked trails and all are one-way so you never have to fear meeting someone head on. The trails were challenging enough, even the green dot trails provided much more then I expected. The staff was very courteous and friendly and it appears to rub off because everyone else I met was equally friendly. Originally, I wanted to come ride for a day...I was so impressed, I upgraded my day pass to a PAC Membership before I left and plan on making many more visits this season. It's places like Lost Trails that leaves no reasonable excuse for riding where maybe you shouldn't (or ride and hope you don't get caught). Well worth the investment and the 1 hour 20 minute drive in my opinion! Thank You and I'll be back real soon... -GARY- Hello Tony & the Lost Trails Crew: Just wanted to say that my friends and I had a great time riding your trails. Looking forward to coming back again. Sincerely, Johnny Pork, New York This was the best place to ride ever!! Mud, Hill climbs, obstacle course, And trails in the woods. .My aunt and uncle went with me .I think the best trails were in Eastwood I think the next time I come it will be April 2008.Bye!!! Pat Scrambler 500 Aaron Dinli 90 Sarah Vento 100 Billy Kodiak 400 Laurie Explorer 250 Just wanted to say I had a great time this weekend. The trails are a Little technical for a dirt-bike, but the challenge is part of the fun. Makes a real difference from the normal 'mx park' point-and-squirt riding. I'll definitely be back soon! Thanks, Scott. _______________________________________________________ WHAT UP PAC DADDY HAD A GREAT TIME ON SUN 2/23. THANKS FOR A GREAT PLACE TO RIDE AND THE 411 FOR THE CLOSEST MC DONALDS. TRAILS WERE GREAT SNOW ONLY ADDED TO THE FUN. WHO NEEDS 4 WHEEL DRIVE! MY RAPTOR AND MY BUDDY'S 400EX CLIMBED EVERY HILL AND DID EVERY TRAIL WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND.THANKS FOR THE PASS ON THE INS. WE'LL BE HEADING BACK UP IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS HOPING TO FIND INS. BY THEN SO WE CAN TEAR IT UP AGAIN. TAKE IT SLOW, RENE (RAPTOR 700) _______________________________________________________ Dear Lost Trails, I just wanted to say what a awesome time we had yesterday at your facility. Everyone including myself were impressed on how well organized you guys are with registration upon arrival. Your trails are well laid out including the marking on the trails. The map that you provided was excellent and was a great reference point when riding. We also found that having you team patrolling the trails to make sure that everyone is safe, having a good time, complying with the rules of the trails and assisting riders getting out of a mud hole is a definite plus to us and reassuring. This park is definitely family orientated and that is outstanding considering that we have children that we can now bring along with us to spend some quality time while having fun exploring the outdoors. I can not say enough how enjoyable of a time we all had with the different levels that your trails provided even in the snow. We can not wait until it gets warmer to go out and really explore the other trails. All that I can say that you are only an 1:30 from Northern NJ and it is well worth the trip. Thank you for opening your trails to us. Sincerely, Andrew Brigida _______________________________________________________ Hey PacDaddy, Well another great day at the Lost Trail on Sunday 8/26. There were 6 of us including 2 kids and we all had a great time. My son asked when we were going back; he had a great time in the "KIDS SECTION" splashing through the mud. I brought my cousin up for the first time too he enjoyed the day, we did hit that muddy trail in the Eastwood that was like a little stream flowing down the mountain, some nice mud, what a great trail. Had such a good time again. You’re doing a great job with all the trails keep it up. See you soon... Mark Giunta & Gang Lyndhurst , NJ _______________________________________________________ Hi, Just wanted to say we had a wonderful time at your park this week/weekend. Thank you for taking Great care of us (all 20 of us). We already told at least 6 of our friends and we’re planning another trip in a few weeks J ~The Long Island Group _______________________________________________________ We experienced one amazing day of riding. The trails were challenging and your staff and security were really friendly. We will be back as often as possible to explore more of the park. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to open up so many miles of ATV trails at a time when so many acres are being closed off permanently to motorized vehicles. You guys are the best. Rob from Long Island. _______________________________________________________ Just wanted to let everyone know that my brother and I have a family pass and have so far been there twice, and it has been great both times. They have some great mud pits, hill climbs, and trails. It has all types of riding from real challenging stuff to nice easy trails you could ride with your kids. Just in the three weeks between our trips they added three more trails. Their staff is also great. They are always very nice and welcoming and the last time when my brother's quad broke down they were more than willing to help us out and even let us take our truck down the main trail if we needed to haul the quad out like that. Luckily though we could tow it to the road and then one of their security guys helped us load it up. Overall it's a great place to ride and we'll be riding there a lot in the future. If you're in Eastern PA I highly recommend it. MuddyBigBear _______________________________________________________ Our turn out was Freakin Awesome! Go NYATVONLINE.COM We attended Lost Trails as a group of about 25 or so. The day went great. The pricing was normally $45 and the group rate was $35. At the end of the day the Owner Tony, Being honest with us gave us an additional $5 back each. He said we went into the next discount bracket and wanted to set things right. That was awesome. Now onto the trails. We had about 5 sport quads with us and had no real issue on the trails. I’d say the trails are geared more towards 4wd ATV's due to the rocks and trees. The easier trails had no rocks and are nice. For the sport quad guys, I recommend taking the power lines and exploring “Eastwood”. Then hop back and head towards the reception area. Take “Wanderer” to Main 1 where Main 1 will come onto the Jeep Trails. The trail is a good 2 wheel drive trail and the Jeep trail is long and you can run wide open for a bit. Just watch out for the last corner as it is a drop off and no signs of the right hand curve are there yet. I also recommend for 2 wheel drives and 4 wheel drives to try the hill climbs off the jeep trail. Try out “Avalanche” and” Widows Peak”. They are awesome and give you a good challenge. On the sports, you spin all the way up through the trees and on the 4wds you have to work to keep traction and your front end down. I’d take “Avalanche to Lazy Mile” and then “Widows Peak to Rocky Ridge”. While on that side of the park Go up to lookout point for some good pictures. Most trails except the Main power lines are 1 way so you never really have to worry about others coming toward you. Be sure to take the sports to the bowls and play area and the 4x4s to the mud pits and obstacle course, all are located in the “BadLands”. If you plan to go to Lost Trail make sure you tell Tony (PacDaddy) that the NYATV crew sent you. I also posted his trail map on our website WWW.NYATVONLINE.COM Jtquad _______________________________________________________ Hi, My son, husband, and I visited Lost Trails on 8/12. It was the first time we have been trail riding in about 23 years. We had a fantastic time!!! The trails were clearly marked, people were courteous, it was clean, and there are plenty of trails. We will definitely recommend this place. We will be back. Thanks, Cindy Golden Golden's Cycle _______________________________________________________ Hey everyone at ride lost trails, My brother, cousin, and I came out to ride at your park today. I just wanted to let you know that we all had a great time. Your trails are great, whether you like hard trails or easy ones. Also, your water and mud pits are outstanding (I'm sure you all saw that we had a great time using them). Attached are a bunch of photos that we took at your park. You can use any of them you would like to put on your website. Once again thank you so much for the great time. See you soon, Zack Deily, Chris Deily, and Ty Kooker _____________________________ Hi, I just had to write to you and say thank you for a wonderful place to ride. Your family is very nice and always asked if we were enjoying the park. We had such a great time today August 5th 2007. The trails are so clearly marked and there was something there for everyone. I wanted to check your Park out before I brought my son up, he will be up on the next trip. Many kid friendly areas to keep them busy. We rode a lot of the trails in “Eastwood” and there were some that we will get next time. Thanks again for a great day and we will see you soon. For me it was a 1 hour 20 minute ride from NJ (meadowlands).. Mark Giunta Lyndhurst NJ 2006 Suzuki Vinson _____________________________ Thanks Tony for a great day on Sunday. Park looks great keep it up. My 6 year old wants to go back every day. Doesn’t quite get I have to work so we can come out there. I hope to make it out again in a few weeks with a bigger group of guys. Let me know if you need any more pictures for the web site. We got a few good ones especially of the kids having fun. _____________________________ PacDaddy, Just want to say thanks... We came up and went riding on Sunday, we had fun before it got to hot.. We will be back for sure. It took us 1 hour to get to you, which is great. New Jersey Rides now have a place to go for day trips.... Great family location. Fun for all!!!! Thanks again PacDaddy.... -Troy- ______________________________ I just got back, went there today with my family. I've got 2 kids, almost 7 and 9, so a kid friendly area was really important to me. Looks like I found it here! Another guy was there with his 6 year old (who was really an excellent rider I might add) and he felt the same. We both signed up for the yearly family pass, well worth the price… Just wanted to say Tony and his family seem to be great people, best of luck to them all. He's making a big investment in the area and I sincerely hope it will pay off for him. The whole way home my kids bugged me to tell them when we'd be going back there. I was stuck to the really basic trails with the kids, but the map looks impressive and growing. Should I ever get the chance to get up there without them I think I'll have plenty to keep me busy. -Joe- _____________________________ Lost Trails is a Really Nice Place!!! Only an Hour and Half For Me!!!! Lots of potential, some nice shaded trails, some hill climbs, really was a good day riding! I think we did 20+ miles and played in the lake!!! Will 100% be back soon!!! Great Spot PacDaddy!!! Thanks for the invite!!! MudsMyName Kevin _______________________________ What a great day for riding! And new trails to boot! First and foremost, it was truly a pleasure to finally meet Tony and family, what a nice bunch of people, nice to see good people doing good things for this sport/hobby, really! Kudos to all of them! OK, now the park, the part everyone wants to hear.....I liked it! Had a nice mix of trails, not too rocky, something I was expecting honestly. Also it had some places to stretch it out, some nice hill climbs (not huge, steep ones) and descents, a pretty gnarly obstacle course, (nice tire obstacle! ) and a nice play area..."BADLANDS" .....Nice, Also some nice forestry fern type trails, lots of shade too , Now I will say the park has a lot of acreage but not as many trails as I had thought, BUT there was a LOT of red fences (red fence=trails coming), so Lost Trails definitely has plenty coming, that's obvious . So, from the Del-Water-Gap, it was almost exactly 25 miles. So for me, that makes 75 miles one way, not bad at all!! It sure was nice to be home, unpacked, bike washed, and swimming in the pool all before 5:30 ! HAD LOTSA FUN TODAY WITH EVERYONE!!! LET’S DO IT AGAIN SOON!!! -MGJ, The Mayor.- _____________________________ Hey this is Anthony with the green Kawi 650, Alan and I had a great time meeting and riding with everyone. We're already looking forward to the next event. Tony, you've done a great job with the park, hopefully with more rain will bring more mud! @! Let us know if you need any future help. _______________________________ Well what can I say? Great Park Great weather and a really nice group of people to ride with. The park seems to have had something for everyone. I saw a lot of smiling faces and it was nice to see a couple of families there with the kids. The park has really come together nice… It was nice to meet some more of Tony’s family they are nice people and deserve a round of thanks for supporting him in this venture. I know it has to be taking up a great deal of his family time to see this all come together. Anyway my favorite part of the park is the water hole. Just have to know enough not to get to far south in the pond, Gets a little deep in spots. I saw one guy who was up to his neck in the water. Kind of shortened his riding for the day. I should not laugh I have been there before myself and probably will be again. I think everyone had a favorite part somewhere in the park. Hey Tony and the rest of the Novak Family once again let me say Thank You from myself and the rest of the PMATV members that share your vision. Greg Hamill 2007 Yamaha 700 Grizzly 1947 International KB-5 2003 F-250 _____________________________ Personally I liked the trails a lot, we clocked 32.5 miles and we arrived @ 9:00 and rode from 10am to 3:30pm maybe a 45 min break for lunch. There were a lot of technical trails with tight turns and very clearly marked. The Quickening is a great trail about 2.5 miles long that you can haul donkey thru at about 20mph at times. The avalanche is a nice hill climb as is the magnum. All the trails are named not numbered. There is one section called Eastwood, and all the trails are named after his movies, it was pretty cool area. When you are going up one hill half way up there is a sign that says “Do you feel lucky, punk". At the beginning there is a play area that has a nice lake to wash your quad. I laid out the family membership on Monday so I will be back there next week for sure. What did everyone else like about Lost Trails -Ed-
