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
Bartley road end a bit noisy with the 3:4 crush stone but not a bad ride , once you hit dirt and the “ Whitestone “ it gets much better of a ride . Not much in the way of stops for food , 1 small deli off the trail in Califon and several eateries 6 miles down at the end in High Bridge. Not much to see along the way but old towns & occasional old houses , however you do see some nice views of the river.
This trail continues 8 miles from Alley Pond Park all the way to Flushing Meadows Park, home of the 2024 World Series champion NY Mets! You only have to cross 3 streets for the entire ride. You continue past Cunningham park to peck fields then to Kissena Park, Kissena Corridor Park, then alongside the Queens botanical garden. It’s pretty flat, nicely paved, and you can safely ride it at night. Leave your
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!
The East River Greenway is under construction. There is no access between 76th and 71st streets. The newly built portion between 71st and 52nd streets is quite nice. The section between 52nd and 37th still needs to be built. Further downtown, the greenway is closed south of 23rd until about the seaport. Hopefully it’ll be ready for next spring.
Great path but the abandoned warehouse is gone so seeing old building aspect gone, and they are not maintaining with the roots pushing up the road
We had a beautiful day riding this trail! There were a lot of people, however, that's to be expected on a wonderful Sunday afternoon. The only downside was that we were stopped and given a warning, with my name taken and entered into the officers computer, by a County Sherif officer that e-bikes are prohibited in all Bergen County parks. Unfortunately we won't be back to this trail again.
Truly loved this trail we went on a Sunday September, we had our electric bikes it was so much fun. Coming back for sure!
Really poor signage and trail markings
It should be used mostly for walking back and forth. Really good for the kids or folk just learning to ride their bicycle. I used it to practice clipping in and out of my pedals. It's also really neat and clean. Also a lil park as well.
