This post is about my recent experience on Patriots Path in Troy Hills. In Troy Hills the trail is narrow and very swampy. When you cross Troy Road for the first time the trail is very narrow and has plants everywhere along the trail that you have to plow through. The first part of the trail is narrow and swampy, but this was a little worse. Once you get through that the trail get nicer. The trail is pretty wide after that but there is a tree that grows over the trail that you have to get over, but that's it. Once you get to Hillary Court off of Bee Meadow Parkway the trail is wide and rocky. There is a tree you have to get over, looks like it fell long ago and hasn't been cut. When we got to Hillary Court we got confused and went down a very nice paved trail that connected a neighborhood and a school. The real trail goes off to the right before you get on the paved path. It comes out on Reynolds Avenue and goes to Bee Meadow Park where is ends I guess. I looked everywhere for more signs but there were none. Later we came to find out it continues at Woodland Drive off of Parsippany Road. From there it goes to N. Jefferson Road. I haven't biked it yet so I don't know of the condition. This trip was on September 26th. This week, the week of the 10th, will be a venture to Woodland Drive to piece together that part of the trail.

Great write-up, dude! These towns have to maintain these trails alittle better, don't you think? Some town workers have to try walking through this trail with a chainsaw and get rid of those fallen trees that block the trail! And maybe a weed-whacker, too! Keep up the great work here!!
