Where are you located or nearby? Last weekend (2 weeks ago) I went up with some friends to Hawk Nest in NY, it was decent though as we got there later than we would like and it had more traffic on the road.

Yep. That’s a good one. Or take 17A from Sloatsburg thru Sterling Forest and Greenwood Lake to Warwick. Then County Route 1 out to Pine Island to Pulaski Highway.

2 hours according to google. How do you like going to bear mountain, I've been on it multiple times as its the only route to my cousins house, but I never went there to drive just for that road or even in anything remotely fun.

It’s very hot up there so be careful, a lot of people hiking and cyclist.

I typically take this up there, not the M3.

Around central NJ, near Watchung. So many deers in the area that one of the roads here is officially called Deer path

Such a shame. Back in my country, you are liable for your damage if you are a cyclist traveling on a non-designated area (usually the public roads.)
