Wife and I had a nice ride on this trail that is mostly narrow single track. Met several horses on our bike ride. The scenery is just beautify, and you can hear the creek babbling as you ride in many places. I found the derelict station at the end quite intriguing. Note: my wife did not rate this trail as easy, due to water erosion that created a narrow trail "channel" in several places. The trail went from better to worse, so if you find the going not to your liking, you can turn around.
We parked in Clinton NJ and took the Landsdown Trail south to the Capoolong trailhead (well, some maps show it as the AT&T right-of-way), which adds another 2 miles one way to the trip. Thus, the combined trails make for a 10+ mile round trip, a nice way to spend a summer afternoon!

"This is a great trail. It's scenic and flat. An extension of the trail, about two miles, brings you into the town of Clinton."

" This pleasant, flat trail winds it's way along the Capoolong Creek from Pittstown to the active rail line in Lansdowne. It is a pretty walk along a trout stream. Biking and horseback riding are allowed. The southern half of the trail has the bulk of the limited parking areas. There is a steel bridge near the middle, with bridge ties in place. Just north of the bridge, there is a short detour around a superfund site (a former DDT plant). Just beyond this site, the trail can be wet for a while. This trail can be buggy in the usual seasons, but is a pleasant walk/ride at other times. or with proper protection.
Rates a 6 out ot 10!
