I’ve ridden mostly the most improved section between Uniondale and Simpson. Trail there is in absolutely perfect condition, with a smooth packed cinder surface that is the best I’ve ever ridden. If you want to be able to relax, view the scenery without worrying about the trail surface, this is the easiest section. If you want something a little more challenging, ride the section north of Uniondale. Heading north from Uniondale is improved, but it is bumpier and you need to pay attention a little bit more. North of Ararat looks rougher but great if you like more of a challenge. This trail offers something for everyone. I love it. I can’t wait to get back there this Spring.
Great addition to the trails in Norwich NY within walking distance of city residents. Great for pets and bikes too.
We decided to start across from the winery, and end our trip there. We went one way and hit roots and railroad ties immediately. We turned around and got the same. Needless to say, the winery was great. Would be a perfect hiking trail. It was beautiful.
This trail is lovely there's a little water fall halfway through it we're the railing is and its beautiful
Nice scenic ride . The mountaindale side goes through several abandon like towns nice ride mostly dirt / cinders / crushed stone lots of nice scenery for about 3 miles then you end at the Neversink River where a bridge is out so you have to pedal 7 miles via road to hook up on the Fallsburg side which is paved ,nice trail for 4 miles . Would do again , tables , benches and bike tool areas . No road bike for gravel part
started in hancock went 6 miles on rocky dirt road then hit nothing but rocks and impassable biking . no warning signs. please do not attempt
Wife a I ride this rail trail every chance we get. Very easy ride. Always start in Simpson and ride north to the red caboose and loop back to Simpson. Best part there is a downward grade back to Simpson so it's a breeze with some great relaxation.
I've ridden the trail from Simpson to Buck's Falls which is outside of Starrucca. The trail is well groomed until you hit the other side of Ararat. Then you run into ballast stone and coal silt. No ballast stone or coal silt from Simpson to Ararat.
Throughly enjoyed the trail end of the trail needs some work otherwise an awesome ride !!!
I have ridden from Lansboro to Steven's Point several times. I'm from the area and can't find the trail from Steven's Point to Starucca. Where can I pick up the trail to Starucca.
Started in Simpson and headed north. The first 12 miles is very nice, except for the occasional noise from the ATV trail nearby. The next eight miles is a little rough, but not too bad. Then a mile of the trail was very soft, like they were working on the trail. After that, it becomes VERY rough - riding on balast. Some very nice scenery; has the potential to be a great trail - if they ever finish cindering the full length of the trail.
