The trail itself is a beautiful 3.5 mile paved road traveling through Metuchen, Edison and Woodbridge. Great for walkers, joggers and bicyclists. However, as another person mentioned, people do not stay to the right of the road. People walking in a group will continue walking at you without adhering to the rules of social distancing and moving over to their side. It's a shame because it is a lovely walk however people need to be more respectful with regards to social distancing.
I've ridden this trail three times now on a loaded touring bike (rear panniers). Some of the rolling hills at the Nyack end definitely require some mettle and/or caution, but I never felt at risk of losing control. I think the "moderate" experience level is justified.
For reference, my bike was outfitted with 35mm tires. The first time was with moderately knobby tires (Schwalbe Mondials) which I decided were overkill for a mostly paved tour; the second time was with slicks and I felt no less confident. The weight of a touring load probably helps with traction regardless of the tire. Experience with changing your gears quickly and often is very helpful here. I was with friends who were on single speeds and they had to walk quite a bit of it :)
We took our bikes today June 23rd 2020, and someplace in Mahopac the town closed partially the trail, we couldn’t find the way around, wish they put signs for a Detour. Other than that, trail is beautiful
Fun little trail that connects Edgar Felix Trail to Wall Township. I noticed it said “Inline skating” as an appropriate activity for this trail. I would not recommend this. Portions of the trail are extremely steep and the trail itself has many bumps from tree roots growing beneath. Probably time to repave this trail soon.
The upper part gets too narrow to enjoy. Too many people. The lower part starting around South Street Seaport and up is much more spacious and enjoyable
Plenty of room, not too crowded. Waterfront views of boats and bridges on the side
Really spacious trail way all around the island. Really nice views all around and not crowded
Really nice views. Could get confusing so use TrailLink maps to get around. It has sewer smell at parts of the island. Lot’s of people BBQing all around.
I utilized the trail to access the just opened shared-use path over the Mario Cuomo Tappan Zee Bridge. A spectacular ride but caution is warranted. The new path has walkers and joggers separated from cyclists by a painted line. With users travelling in both directions it can get pretty tight.
Also note that unlike the Rockland side with direct access to the Esposito and Old Erie Path trails the Westchester side ends at busy Route 9/ Broadway. It is a fairly short on-street ride to the Croton Aqueduct Trail (not suitable for road bikes) and a longer street ride to the North Country Trailway.
The Bike path description and the previous review pretty much say it all. I would add that after you exit the trail on the north it would be very worthwhile to ride on park roads to the highest point in the park at the Sawmill Picnic Area where there are great views of Piermont, the Piermont Marsh, and the Hudson River.
