Get Ready For An Epic Day In The Jungle !

Jungle Habitat is a really special place to ride. If you don't know the history, the park was a Warner Brothers Safari Park until it was abandoned in the 70s. In 2007 the park was cleaned up and building of a trail network was started by JORBA (which continues to this day). Remenants of the old park still remain and perhaps decendants of the original safari animals? Either way the park will be a good challenge, and who knows, maybe you'll have enough in you to escape the jungle.

A portion of event proceeds donated to West Milford First Aid.
