Road from Simpson to Uniondale using our Trek Verve 2 hybrid bikes. Continuous doable uphill grade of all the way out for 11 miles. But sure made the ride back a lot of fun!
Nice trail. Well maintained. A few bumps at the south end but not bad. Mostly shaded with openings for scenery.
I started at the NY State Line and rode south to Carbondale. It was a bit of a grind continuously climbing for 20 miles to Ararat Summit. All that effort made the matching 20-mile descent all the better. This trail is deep into the woods and surrounded by beautiful mountains. It follows waterways for much of its route with many bridges and water views. A few shale rock cuts near the summit add further interest. Trail conditions vary from nicely groomed fine gravel to cinder, ballast rock of up to 3”, and even mowed grassy sections. All of it was rideable with my drop bar steel heavy adventure touring bike on 650b wheels with 48mm gravel tires. Highly recommend the D&H!
Started south end E.Lake Rd, end at Freeville Station. Nice variety, rural, flat, good signage, well maintained (cut grass, lots of benches). 1/2 shade, 1/2 open - 1 mi of grass, single-track, mostly cinders. Traveled past wetlands & lake. We saw ducks, lots of birds, bald eagle, young doe in creek, beaver dams. Good ice cream shop in Dryden. Nice 15 mile ride! Visiting from PA.
It's better from Carbondale to NY. You could park at 1 Morris Ave in Simpson and it is a beautiful Trail clean up to New York state border.
I’ve ridden mostly the most improved section between Uniondale and Simpson. Trail there is in absolutely perfect condition, with a smooth packed cinder surface that is the best I’ve ever ridden. If you want to be able to relax, view the scenery without worrying about the trail surface, this is the easiest section. If you want something a little more challenging, ride the section north of Uniondale. Heading north from Uniondale is improved, but it is bumpier and you need to pay attention a little bit more. North of Ararat looks rougher but great if you like more of a challenge. This trail offers something for everyone. I love it. I can’t wait to get back there this Spring.
Great addition to the trails in Norwich NY within walking distance of city residents. Great for pets and bikes too.
My wife & I ride from the north end to just south of Steven’s Point. From Steven’s Point south we experienced rough trail conditions including trail-wide mud puddles and ballast stone, nothing like the stone dust conditions to the north. There were still a lot of downed trees along the path from earlier storm damage. Consider becoming a member of the Rail-Trail Council of North East Pennsylvania. They could use your financial help so the trail conditions I mentioned above can be completed. We will definitely be back to rude more of the D&H.
Rode the Catherine Valley Trail in September 2025. We began at the Tops grocery store in Watkins Glen and ended at a nice picnic area. The trail was mostly good shape except near the end where it was a little muddy and slippery. Nice trail would recommend.
Best part of our stop in Ithica. We enjoyed the trail. We started at Cass park and the reward was the beautiful Taughannock Falls. There were Ithica green deal bikes for rent at the trail head if you're in town without a bike.
Rode from Watkins Glen to the South end of Montour Falls. Map posted online is terrible. Trail is poorly marked. Several points between crushed stone path and paved public roads had no trail markings. Initial section from South end of WG is just a green tunnel. Nothing to see. Too much parking lot, highway, industrial area, downtown streets. Crushed stone section was well maintained.
