The trail bits are very beautiful. The trail is pretty well shelterd from the wind. The bit where the trail is shared with NY 100, from Briarcliff towards Millwood, is a bit challenging. Traffic moves at 55+ along this bit and there are two crossings of this road required. If I were to do it again I would start in Millwood and ride north to miss the bit shared with NY 100. YMMV.

We road this trail in the beginnig of October. The leaves were just starting to turn and the trail was perfect for a fall ride. We started in Mahopac and road 17 miles to the Croton Reservior. Along the way there were other bridges to cross that went over rivers and streams. Many pretty sites to see and being in the woods that time of the yr was the best! The trail goes through little towns that have great eateries and planty of places to rest your legs. We stoped at a bar/resturant and had a late lunch with some good friends. The condition of the trail was very good and easy to ride. Many intersection w/ auto traffic but those intersection are safe and clearly marked. You ride on the trail the whole time and only hit the roads when going into the towns for some eats. The trail has many nice benches to sit and have a brown paper bag lunch if you like. Beatiful views and ride. Go ride this one!! Ride a trail, write a review. Geoff Miller
