"This trail actually continues all the way down to end at Sparkill, NY. It parallels Route 9 running through the forest along a ridge past Grandview, Piermont, and finally drops down to sea level to end in Sparkill.

All told, the trail is more like a four mile run (8 mile round trip) which is a perfect way to end the workday. If you want to make it longer, you can hop on to Broadway and head north through Nyack up to the trail along the Hudson at the foot of Hook Mountain.

Or, at the south side of the trail, cycle through Piermont and out to the tip of the pier to unwind.

This is one of my favorite local rides, great for closing out the workday on a long summer day. Hope to see you on the trail!"

"This short trail is an extension of the Old Erie Rail Trail into South Nyack. The northern terminus is at Cedar Hill Ave at the Nyack/South Nyack border in the Franklin St. Park. A big bonus to this trail is that it crosses over the NY Thruway on its own right-of-way. South of the Thruway it ""becomes"" the Old Erie Rail Trail in Grandview.

There are some nice views of a picturesque area that has been overwhelmed by modern infrastructure!

Rates a 7 out of 10!

"Access via Franklin Street Park in Nyack.

A short trail but it directly connects to the Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail and other ""no name"" trails in the area.

Worth the trip.
