Had a great ride yesterday on the north end going from Kingston trailhead to just before Marbletown wooded trail. Marbletown south was a little muddy from recent rains. Ran into 3 folks on horses there too!
I have not been on the northern part of this trail, but the southern part is years (and probably millions of dollars) away from being a great trail. There are short parts near Ellenville that have been rehabilitated and a tiny stretch near Port Ben that’s okay, but it’s mostly rough riding in the middle of no-where, without a person in sight . Trees are down. There’s trash (tires, old toys, abandoned cars, everywhere). The trail is poorly marked where it starts and stops; it ends abruptly in multiple places; and is generally not worth the trouble to navigate.
If you’re brave enough to start at Ellenville, the trail does not start in the park (as noted on the O&W website) - it start’s off Main Street down a road that leads to a municipal parking lot for snow plows. (Looks carefully, it’s very easy to miss.)
Let’s hope the dream of this trail becomes a reality sooner rather than later.
The smoothest trail you will find anywhere around NYC. Nice and long, mostly flat. As others have pointed out, plants are beginning to overgrow on the Dutchess County end and need to be cut back. But the trail goes by numerous lakes and offers fantastic views. Highly recommend. Just make sure to start early because the trail is quite long.
Excellent trail except for the staircase once you get into Brewster from the Danbury area. Why wasn't a ramp put in instead of 2 steep staircases to carry a bike up or down?
The Dutchess County portion of this incredible biking trail is almost unusable right now. Weeds wildly overgrown and sticking out 4-5 feet into the trail on either side. The Dutchess County people responsible for this negligence should be ashamed of themselves.
Can’t say enough well maintained , a must do !
Great a must do . Food & drinks along with bathrooms on each end of bridge .
Great trail well maintained would be good if porta John was available in the parking lot across from Lowe’s . Plenty of places to get a drink .
These are really 2 separate trails with a variety of surfaces and a bit of street riding. The Norwalk trail is mostly asphalt going north from the sound while the trail in Wilton has about half going through a wooded area with pea gravel. This is the most enjoyable spot to ride as the other half of the Wilton trail dies out north of town on Route 7 with nothing around. If they were ever able to connect the two routes you would have something.
Beautifully maintained. Started at Walkway over the Hudson rode to new Paltz and back. Super hot day but trail had a lot of shade. We definitely want to explore more of this area
Manchester towards Hartford is great for a few miles. Then it gets a little dicey and unpleasant. You’re forced onto sidewalks through busy neighborhoods and alongside a highway with only a jersey barrier between you and reckless drivers.
