Nice trail a must do . From Kingston it’s paved at least 5 -6 miles the rest is easy ride great scenery !
Tried this trail with 35mm's but it's really a mountain biking trail. Single track and a bit overgrown in places. I'm sure other parts of it are nice. I wish it was a bit more maintained and wider.
Wildly inconsistent and discontinuous trail. Has potential, but I sense it will be many, many years before this will rival the trails on the east side of the Catskills. Skip this and just go to the Heritage Trail in Middletown.
I tried this trail starting in two spots. First at the north end off 208. The first few hundred yards are good, but then it becomes overgrown. I went through the brush and mud for another few hundred yards, but turned around at a washed out culvert. Next I drove to the north end of the southern section off S road. This was better. Bumpy with roots across the trail. Foot tall grass in most places, but passable for a half mile or so. After the underpass there are several bridges in degrading condition. I didn't dare ride across, but walked these. There were also downed trees in two spots. A little over a mile in I turned around at another rotting bridge that had 3 large snakes (I believe Northern Water Snakes, but not 100% sure).
I wouldn't waste your time with trying this trail.
Great trail did from Harriman to Middletown plenty of opportunities to get food & water . I recommend Mason’s Place in New Hampton right on the trail breakfast lunch , dinner & bar . Very cool 1866 place , lots of history , good food . The owner Brett was very accommodating and offered to stay late for us .
Rode from Harriman ti right before downtown Chester. The trail is closed for maintenance at about the 7 mile marker.
This mostly flat, well maintained trail goes though woods and across dykes. The scenery makes this a near perfect trail.
Rode from Blairstown to knowlton and back. 14 miles. Goes for a good distance in a tree covered environment which usually is good However, the ground is still wet often, for biking the surfaces vary which is hard enough but when you have to bike through “wagon wheel ruts in the ground”, uncut grass, single file, avoid bushes, etc. not a lot of fun. Was watching the ground so not to slip. But the biggest fault was, there was no signage when the bike trail went on roads and then back on the trail. At least six or 7 times wish they had signs that said turn here, go left. We almost ended up on the runway of the local Blairstown Airport Also, it end before the Pauls Kill Viaduct Which is a major structure in NJ - was the largest concrete structure built in the world when it was built. Does not tell us how to there. Only a quarter a mile further ?? Lastly, in this section enjoy seeing old rail artifacts, country farms etc. not a lot here
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!
Started in Roxbury and fell a couple of miles short of finishing trail but headed back. A lot of mud towards Bloomfield section.Can't say enough about the views. Totally fine for any gravel bike or hybrid .
My experience did not match the glowing description and reviews for this trail. While I agree it can be ridden with a road bike as I did it makes for a very rough ride. The surface is clearly not crushed stone as advertised but rather gravel with 1/4 to 1/2” pebbles. Furthermore with the exception of a few hundred feet at the beginning (West Hurley) you don’t see the lake, the rest of the way you are in the forest, which on a hot day is nice but also almost completely blocks the view of the water. I ended up riding back via route 28A, which makes for a loop of a little over 30 miles and was not too busy with cars. If you do go this route make sure to take the Ashokan Reservoir Promenade, which parallels route 28A along the shore of the lake for about three miles. The only difficulty is crossing busy route 28 at the end to get back to the parking lot in West Hurley.
