Rollercoaster is a short, looping mountain biking route in Calverton Pine Barrens State Forest in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The loop is about half a mile long, with a high point of 94 feet and a low of 76 feet, so it's a flat, low-lying ride with no real climb. The most comfortable months for a ride are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Baiting Hollow weather station show May highs around 68°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest at about 83°F. Several other routes sit close by. Hillside Drive is about 0.1 mile away and Scuttle Hole about 0.2 mile. The Calverton Mountain Bike Trail is roughly 0.7 mile off, and the Tarkill Trail offers hiking about 1.6 miles away.
