The ‘protected bike lane’ is more like a highway breakdown lane, but separated by a guardrail. Again, not pretty, but it is a safe and efficient way to get from Point A to Point B.
We parked at northern end of South County trail, Elmsford, and turned around at mile 33 marker, Shenorock. Paved trail is perfectly maintained, beautiful foliage. The next time we would park at New Castle, however, to avoid rush hour traffic smells and sounds of Saw Mill River Parkway and Route 87. Both are quite close to trail. The Elmsford-New Castle section also has portions where trail leaves woods and is essentially in protected bike lane along county roads. Not pleasant ruding, although certsinly efficient wat you bike from Point A to Point B. These trails are seamlessly connected, leafing to MYC.
There are lots of interesting things to see. Easy walk.
I walk on this trail for 1 1/2 hours every day. It’s lovely, varied, not difficult at all. A former rail line, so it’s relatively even terrain. I see deer most days, and cross two bridges—over Route 23/Pompton Avenue and the small Peckman River. I park at the Cedar Grove Community Center, and walk up to the trail. Best time of my day, every single day. Really love how healing Nature here is.
I rode from Harriman to the edge of Goshen. Nice smooth, pavement with little or no bumps. I found some interesting sites and information along the way. I will return to ride the second half of this heritage Trail.
Rode a portion from Milldale north to Southington. All paved in fairly decent shape. A few bumps but no broken pavement. At the point in Southington the trail just ends with no information as to where to go. No signs or arrows. The trail picks up somewhere a few miles away but I couldn’t find out how to get there. On the portion I rode it was flat and easy, but not much to see other than woods and backs of buildings.
Awesome trail, I tried inline skating and I wouldn’t recommend. It’s definitely possible but not enjoyable. I feel like everything else is doable.
Took a ride on this once nice restored short trail yesterday. The state needs to get back in there and do some basic maintenance. The overgrowth of weeds has turned this into barely a single track lane. Many limbs and broken fencing. It's a shame after all the time and money put into it a few years ago.
Interesting ride did it on a hybrid not a bad ride . Rode from Tarrytown to the end south a few places to get a bite and drink however did not see any porta John’s . Some old stone houses , walls some views of the Hudson River a must see Untermyer park & garden area .
Rode the entire Farmington Canal Heritage Trail as part of a 2 day ride from Northampton to New Haven. What a fabulous experience! So much variety and New England splendor packed into one journey. It was very interesting to see how each of the towns maintained the trail differently. Everything from the paving to the signage changed as you moved from one village to the next. What an amazing treasure!
Heads up that ALL e- bikes are now banned in ALL Bergen County parks. Speed limit of 10mph for all (remaining) vehicles. ¿¿ Bummer.
