Description:
While not a "rail-trail," the Hook Mountain/Nyack Beach Bikeway is a very scenic trail along the Hudson River in Rockland County.

The southern half of this trail is flat and runs right along the river at sea level. It is wheelchair accessible from the parking lot at Nyack Beach State Park and even beginner bicyclists can easily travel on it. There is a paved connection to the Rockland Lake State Park area from this trail.

The northern half of the trail is hilly, narrow and quite rocky. It runs along the cliffs and should only be ridden by experienced bicyclists riding bikes in good condition.

Great views of the Hudson River and Palisades Cliffs rock formations are available from either trail segment.

If you live in the Rockland County area this trail shouldn't be missed.

My family and I attempted to bike this trail last sunday, October 9. Sadly, the trail was closed about a mile north of the beach parking lot. Does anyone have any info or know when the trail will reopen?
Great trail and friendly staff

Pretty good for mt bike (easy/mostly flat), should be ok for hybrids, but wide tires recommended. awesome views of the Hudson! very well worth the trip!
