A Trail Just For Walking
By Tony in January, 2002
"A good starting point is on Gedney Avenue in White Plains, just west of Mamaroneck Avenue. There is plenty of on street parking in this area as well as a deli and restaurant for those who want to combine exercise with eating, either before or after (or both).

Most of the current trail served as a former railroad line right-of-way. It starts at Gedney Avenue and works it’s way down to the Scarsdale border. There are many railroad artifacts to see along the route; that is, bridge abutments, tunnels, and pieces of signaling equipment. The trail is bordered on both sides by very nice homes, a recreation field, and the City of White Plains compost facility. There is one street crossing along the route.

Bikes and motorized vehicles are prohibited. In some sections the “no dogs” signs have been removed while in other sections they remain posted. Local residents say dogs are allowed though.

All in all, this is a very nice trail for walkers.
