Really doesn’t qualify as a trail, just a pocket park, it’s way too small but it is a very pretty surprise off the Okd Croton Aquaduct Trail
The section on the Upper West Side starting from 125th St going south is still closed for construction but will hopefully open soon albeit late. Also the section from 181st Street running to Dyckman St is also closed with zero announcements re what’s going on; could be a serious problem with sinkholes and the retaining wall. The good news is that we finally have a full size bike lane across the Henry Hudson Bridge. The bad news is that you still have to portage your bike up a 2 story railroad bridge into the Dyckman Park section of Inwood Hill Park. And in Riverdale it is on street from the bridge to Van Cortlandt park. Park
Entered @ Elmsford and found a parking lot where we unloaded . Well maintained nice scenery along the way as well as a few eateries and gas stations where you can get a drink or snack .
The finished portion in Pequannock is a great place to walk. Road crossings are clearly marked and the entire length is flat and paved. Look for colorful plants along the way and even an original cement marker from the railroad days.
Hadn’t ridden in at least 10 years; took it out from Van Cortlandt Park to Orchard Beach, City Island and the Country Club/Pell mansion areas . It is now in horrid shape. Patches bumps ruts. And more hills than I remembered LOL but that’s on me. But the bumps and holes do make hills harder. And also road crossings. No more FOMO
Great trail a must do . FYI bridge #1,2,3,4 were under construction but are now complete and the trail is open complete . When in Monroe just before overpass there is a good burger and place called Wayback burger . You have to pedal through a gas station lot but it’s next door .
I rode the entire 24.7 mile southern portion of the Harlem Valley Rail Trail on a beautiful fall day. The HVRT offers everything you could want from a trail experience: a fully paved surface, mostly flat, beautiful scenery (especially in the Fall) and a perfect mid-point trailhead to grab a bite to eat.
I don't recall seeing any water fountains along the trail although the trailhead in Millerton offers many options for places to eat or resupply. The HVRT offers a myriad of scenery changes from farmland, quiet streams, distant hills to quaint towns. I have ridden many paved rail trails in the past and the HVRT is one of the best with almost no surface imperfections for the entire distance. There are many trailheads along the entire trail giving many distance options. All this adds up to a perfect trail in my opinion!

We recently did a loop ride, crossing the George Washington Bridge and Mario Cuomo Bridges. This trail was a seamless connector from Rt. 9 and the town of Sparkill to the MCB. It's fairly narrow with occasional views across the Hudson River and the bridge. The condition was pretty good, gravel/dirt.
We attempted to ride the entirety of the greenway in two halves, north and south. North have was pretty good--a lot of raised roots on pavement--from Valhalla and south to Bronxville. The southern half began with an abrupt dead end below Bronxville, followed by miles on road. We eventually linked up with a bike lane alongside roadways that led us as far south as Bronx Zoo. Overall, the trail lack good markings and directives. We were disappointed with the southern section of greenway and aborted plans of continuing to the East River. Wanted to like it!
Started 3 miles south of New Paltz & ride all the way to Kingston , plenty of places to eat & drink in New Paltz after that there is a farm brewery on your right going north & a little health food eatery in the middle of nowhere by a campsite on the left going north after that you come to get Rosendsle trestle , the mining caves ( you can feel the cold air mass as you ride by ) Once you get to Kingston you pedal via rroad to the town
