Walkway Over The Hudson

Worth dealing with the bridge crowd.

September, 2023 by bsnicholson63

Parked on the east side of the bridge after a bit of confusion finding the end of the bridge. Signs were a bit confusing. We just looked at the huge bridge went towards the obvious end of it to find parking. Lightly crowded on a Monday morning around 9:30 as we headed west across the bridge. Well worth the trip as the views of the Hudson Valley are spectacular! Rode 8 miles west out into central New York. Very little elevation change and a clean smooth trail. Worth the ride!

Catskill Scenic Trail

Nice scenery but one step up from a goat path

September, 2023 by johnecarl

This path would be great if work were done on it. Road bikes won’t make it. You basically need a mountain bike with suspension. I have a hybrid bike with suspension and wide tires but it’s still a difficult ride. The scenery is nice but you have to pay a lot of attention to the path.

Ashokan Rail Trail

One of the most beautiful rail trails in NY

September, 2023 by johnecarl

This trail has beautiful scenery. While it’s lose gravel most road bikes with skinny tires are good. This is an awesome ride!!!

Ashokan Rail Trail

beautiful, easy ride

September, 2023 by mark.houghtaling

i've biked sections of this trail end to end on many occasions.

parking is plentiful at any of the 3 trailheads. the surface is well maintained crushed gravel and pretty level from end to end.

the views of the ashokan resevoir are beautiful, and the stream and woodland views along the entire length of the trail are also lovely.

the three trailheads are also convenient to charming towns, restaurants, and other nature attractions.

recommended!

Harlem Valley Rail Trail

Serene and lovely

September, 2023 by raresparky

Rode the 13 miles from Orphan Farm Rd to Millerton and back. At the northern end, at Orphan Farm Rd is a large parking area adjacent to a small farm, a solar panel field and a glamping site. No one there at 8am that Saturday but half a dozen cars upon my return at 11. Likewise, I had the trail practically to myself until I neared Millerton and found it moderately traveled by later that morning. The asphalt trail was in very good condition and there are a few boardwalk sections as well, also in very good condition. The environs are beautiful with forested sections, farm fields, wetlands and vistas of the nearby hills. Not more than two miles from the north end is the Depot Deli, near the entrance to Taconic State Park, where all manner of beverages, ice cream and snacks can be found. Breakfast at Oakhurst Diner in Millerton is highly recommended. Clean public bathrooms can be found just behind the schoolhouse museum beside the trail after crossing the main street.

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail

Good scenic ride

September, 2023 by richmedcraft

I rode the trail from Pittsfield to the end in North Adams and back on 8/5/23. The trail is paved and in good condition and restrooms at the Pittsfield trail head were clean and working fine. Nice scenery including lakes and the Berkshires- I was able to finally identify Mt Greylock after the morning clouds had dissipated. The grade is gentle and I was able to keep up a consistent pace for the ride.

William R. Steinhaus Dutchess Rail Trail

Hopewell Junction start on WRS Dutchess Trail

September, 2023 by bsnicholson63

Very nice 7 miler tonight just before sundown. Trail was very clean and only lightly populated as we headed south for 3 1/2 miles and then back to the parking lot.

Too bad that Daddy O's had closed their kitchen when we returned. Had to go to the Redline Diner to get a post-ride meal on a Sunday night.

Road crossings were well marked and use automatic yellow flashing lights for traffic to be aware of bikers approaching the crossing. A nice feature.

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail

great trail

September, 2023 by dpwrztjhrw

Asphalt smooth and trail is terrific. Easy, flat trail with some water views passing Silver Lake/Pittsfield.

Catskill Scenic Trail

August ride

August, 2023 by saltshaker10

Parked in Bloomville and traveled 7 or 8 miles. E bikes with wide tires. There are spots that are a little rough because larger stone base, but they are minimal. Trail is a real beauty. We did see 2 UTV’s, first one was rude. Also gave right of way to a horse and rider. We were concerned the whining of our e bikes might freak him out. We pulled over and shut them off. Beautiful horse, he looked thankful. We’ll be on this one again, especially when the leaves are changing. Canopy covers lots of the trail, so you can get cooled off.

Harlem Valley Rail Trail

Harlem Trail Great Ride

August, 2023 by johnecarl

This is a great trail but if starting from Hillsdale their is no signage to get from that part of the trail to the other part. It’s better to start at the Orphan Road trail head. However at Hillsdale there is a great brew pub. You will want to stay on the trail though and not walk about in the woods. There are rattlesnakes about and a very large on was warming itself on the path!

Andes Rail Trail

Very nice trail

August, 2023 by rb4gf87d7n

There is actually parking at the trail head by the depot, not far from Main Street in Andes. We only took a short walk with our dogs, and it was very nice.

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail
