As of late October 2025, the trails within the southern section of Norvin Green State Forest in Passaic County, NJ have been reblazed and reconfigured by volunteers and staff of the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. Several trail blazes have changed color to improve clarity and consistency, and multiple loops have been created to make the trail system easier to navigate. New maps (pdf and Avenza) are available. https://www.nynjtc.org/trail-alerts/norvin-green-state-forest
