My family and I took a lovely bike ride on this trail today. However, it’s important to share that (at least) one of the two parking lots (the southern-most one) is meant for New Milford residents only, and the cops will get your car towed if you’re not from New Milford. A true shame to exclude neighbors from enjoying the trail like that.
An absolute joy for all bikes. Smooth well maintained trail which runs through a couple towns (not in the street) for easy access to grub.
It’s flat, easy, well-paved and road-bike friendly. We ride folding road bikes with small wheels and found this trail very enjoyable. We biked from Monroe to Goshen. At the and of the trail in Goshen there is a small ice cream shop popular with the tourists and locals alike. A little past the end of the trail you can enter the town and have a picnic in the park. It’s a charming place.
Has anyone been out on the trail since the storm?
thinking of riding it tomorrow and wondering if any down trees blocking it
August 2020
Not my kind of trail. It is here, I did it, but did not enjoy it. Maybe I am lazy or spoiled by rail trails. VERY hilly, with trees I had to go over, under, and around. The trail does go past some very nice ponds, so it is worth a visit if you are a hiker or mountain biker.
Anything less than 5 miles is short for me, so 10 miles round trip. I combined this ride with another in the area near City Island. After driving past this path so many times I sought out the name and finally rode it, very happily. Park at Fort Totten and enjoy the great scenery. Lots of traffic noise near the road, but a small inconvenience for the views.
A hot and humid Thursday in July 2020.
I started at the Kensico Dam in Valhalla and rode this path down to the first ending past White Plains. Twists, turns, over and under bridges and tunnels, it a very interesting and fun place to bike.
Make sure you ride up around the dam, both top and bottom for the glorious architecture, wonderful views and maybe a breeze. There is a quite steep and wide brick path to the right or east side when the greenway enters the park. If leaving the park it is on the left side. You will love it!
My 7yo daughter and I rode the entire trail today (out and back). It seems to be well-maintained currently and we had no issues. It was very enjoyable!
Pros: Long trail with several entry points Mostly smooth Very nice tree coverage Nice trails for off ride riding Decent hills that challenge in a nice way Cons: Dangerous sharp blind turns Some slight ripples pavement at times Several stop and cross points
The MTA has increased their warnings complete with fines for all to stay off the trail. No doubt in my mind whether or not it’s open. https://maybrooktrailway.org/
Just finished a 30 mile ride on the trail. Started by VE Macy Park and ended right before Sleepy Hollow. Nice ride. The first 4 miles were bumpy but as you get further into Westchester the road gets smoother. Nice trail. Next time will ride 20 miles out.
