Against dirt bikers there isn't much you can do , but we blocked that pond off from the Mud Trucks and Jeeps that destroyed it and they have not been back. You may want to update your scorekeeping system.
Yes. They were driving their bikes down the sides of this road and got caught by the Park Police.

I've walked back there several times. You'd be surprised on how many still go back there. Yes you have stopped trucks for now. Trees rot, even the live ones you cut down. With out enforcement it's only a band aid.
Don't get me wrong I agree it needed to be closed off. No map will stop that behavior. Fear of getting caught will.
That looks like the one right off the road. The other that has been blocked and posted Was the one in the video.
Thanks for the reply. Would have liked to see them get busted. I am glad they are patrolling the woods more.
Yes this is just off sandy causeway road. It was posted & blocked by a tree.
That poster must read this forum or know someone that does; the vid is now gone.
This is why we can't have nice things.
My family and I took a ride yesterday, we went in Hampton from 206. Noticed that Stokes heading towards the infamous FFS stuck area is marked with the same signs Ed posted pics of. Further down, the pit near the bridge has been re-posted as it has always been off limits. As we were driving toward Hampton Park, a White Ford Escape was coming at us at way over the suggested speed limit, he initially pulled over for a split second but pulled back out and kind of forced me to the right a bit, so I assigned him an adjective and moved on. As we passed the bogs on the right there was a vehicle closing in on my back bumper quickly, you guessed it, the Escape. I pulled over and he passed us in my estimate in excess of 40 mph. As we entered Hampton Park the Escape was parked at the ruins, the driver was out of the vehicle, when he spotted me he jumped in and took off down Glossy Spung very quickly??? Odd. We continued down Glossy Spung headed toward Carranza, we came upon a Jeep in one of the new what I call a "swail" the cuts the FFS made to drain the massive puddles. Anyway, they were in it up to the doors and another truck was in the woods attempting to get it out. As we reached Carranza, you guessed it, white Escape whizzing by. We drove to High Crossing and such, doubled back to Glossy Spung, by that time there were about 5 vehicles with the stuck crew, SPP included! We were motioned by the crew to turn around so we did. Took a ride to APH, back around and back down Glossy (about 2 hrs time) and they were all gone. Headed for home back out Hampton Road, came upon the pit I mentioned earlier to find the SPP and at least one Jeep stuck in the pit. So it appears the stepped up presence and promise of enforcement is alive!
I was just thinking he may have either reported them and was looking for the LEO hastily or he was spotting to warn them when the police were on the way? Either way he was driving like he shouldn't have been
In either case it would have been great giving him a ticket, too
The state needs to put bounties on violator's heads 
Maybe a State Park Pass for the next year.

We took a quick ride this morning and mapped out where all the new signs are on Hampton Road and Glossy Spung Road. (Just where they are located not new roads closed) Will pass that info on later. This is the location where Joe saw the vehicle stuck.

There are new style signs (not new locations) on East Stokes Road on the east side of Hampton.

They are also at the sand pit as Joe mentioned.

The next group is at the ruins at Hampton on the road to the Skit as Ed mentioned earlier.

Other than that I did not see them anywhere else along those roads.

So in this pic, the back of the Jeep would be facing you and the truck pulling it in front of it pointed into nowhere there is a discernible road.We took a quick ride this morning and mapped out where all the new signs are on Hampton Road and Glossy Spung Road. (Just where they are located not new roads closed) Will pass that info on later. This is the location where Joe saw the vehicle stuck.
Yes, there is a discernible road there now. I am assuming the vehicle pulling it out made it or previous vehicle that went into the hole drove out that way.
Whoever that was should have known better. These are the individuals making it hard on all of us.
