The ‘protected bike lane’ is more like a highway breakdown lane, but separated by a guardrail. Again, not pretty, but it is a safe and efficient way to get from Point A to Point B.
We parked at northern end of South County trail, Elmsford, and turned around at mile 33 marker, Shenorock. Paved trail is perfectly maintained, beautiful foliage. The next time we would park at New Castle, however, to avoid rush hour traffic smells and sounds of Saw Mill River Parkway and Route 87. Both are quite close to trail. The Elmsford-New Castle section also has portions where trail leaves woods and is essentially in protected bike lane along county roads. Not pleasant ruding, although certsinly efficient wat you bike from Point A to Point B. These trails are seamlessly connected, leafing to MYC.
There are lots of interesting things to see. Easy walk.
Rode a portion from Milldale north to Southington. All paved in fairly decent shape. A few bumps but no broken pavement. At the point in Southington the trail just ends with no information as to where to go. No signs or arrows. The trail picks up somewhere a few miles away but I couldn’t find out how to get there. On the portion I rode it was flat and easy, but not much to see other than woods and backs of buildings.
Interesting ride did it on a hybrid not a bad ride . Rode from Tarrytown to the end south a few places to get a bite and drink however did not see any porta John’s . Some old stone houses , walls some views of the Hudson River a must see Untermyer park & garden area .
Rode the entire Farmington Canal Heritage Trail as part of a 2 day ride from Northampton to New Haven. What a fabulous experience! So much variety and New England splendor packed into one journey. It was very interesting to see how each of the towns maintained the trail differently. Everything from the paving to the signage changed as you moved from one village to the next. What an amazing treasure!
While all are grateful that bike and pedestrian access were built into the new TZ Bridge, the rough bumpy surface is completely awful. Neither easy on the feet nor pleasant for bikes. I don’t know if it was like this a few years ago or was planned this way, but it’s disappointing.
Great trail, ride it frequently with my wife. Good workout for 22 miles. Main issue is not the road crossings; we ride many trails with more crossings than this, but on those, the towns take down the brush and you can see cars approaching the intersections. On this trail, you pretty much have to stop and inch out into the road to see these cars, many of whom are not "impressed" by the flashing yellow lights that you need to push a button for. Many drivers are looking at their phones rather than the road these days. You must appraoach these intersections as if you are invisible. Be safe
Haven't ridden the trail since 2023. Rode from Cheshire down to New Haven, Saturday July 19th. Absolutely awful; entire section needs repaving and upkeep. Constant cracks in pavement and much debris on surface; plus glass and homeless down by the Wharf. Connecticut should take notice from Mass and NY on trail up keep. Both states's trail are far superior to CT. Also, difficult to navigate at trail end in New Haven if you don't know the city; poor signage.
Parked at the trail head in Elmsford rode north to Yorktown Heights plenty of places to get a cold drink or food then went on south county trail not many places along the way to get a cold drink or food & zero porta John’s . Overall great trail , good markings & scenic at the end the trail changed a bit still paved and ride a few miles in Putnam greenway Van Courtland park Bronx this was a plus .
Only about 7 miles round trip but a lot of gear changing and climbing! Great workout.
