Great trail with greens and manageable hills. But some dangerous crossings and noise highways. Recommend ear buds. I wouldn’t take my kids for whole trail. Just south is fine. Will definitely go during foliage season.
There is nothing interesting to explore here IMO. Btw there is no shade so it’s extremely hot in summers.
My review is more conservative. This bike trail is mostly in the woods where you don’t get sunburn. There is also a an asphalt /gravel path for your choice. It’s worth a normal weekend visit but not a special tour to it
Took the family and it was very clean and an excellent time. Windy and lots of hills and downhill runs. Recommended
Enjoyed this ride with our 10 yr. old daughter and she was thrilled to bike on this trail.. competed the entire trail of 7.6 miles.
easy, beautiful, peaceful, friendly, shaded Great for walking and biking
We started in Bridgeport in the park near the zoo, but I would recommend going from Tait Road onwards because it’s a proper trail from there onwards. From Bridgeport north to that point is nice but more road noise and you need to cut through some neighbourhoods to connect up w the other parts of the trail. We had a lovely day out though. Hilly in places but not too hard.
I’ve done this trail many times and enjoyed it. Greenery , water views , birds twists and turns Great trail
The pathways are well maintained and the path is clearly marked. The only issue I have had is some on bicycles. I’ve almost been hit a few times by groups of people on bicycles ignoring any rules of the road. They will ride side by side and if you are walking, you have to walk on the grass to avoid being hit.
Quiet, wooded. Great nature feel. Appreciable checkpoints of crosswalks, bridges, water views. Loved the shade in the cool morning. Have been a few times now. Trail is mostly gravel, rocky. Wore light hiking boots for the rocks personally. Well maintained with fallen trees cleared. Just under 3 miles end to end. Parked on the roadside by Verona high school, entrance is just past the tennis courts side. The trail has a dead end on the other side at another railroad track. You can stop at the road County Rte 612 and turn around as it does not go much further. There is parking along the side of that road if you would like to start from that end in Little Falls (address near entrance is house number 102). Google maps accurately shows the trail.
The process of approving and paving the Old Putnam Trail is finally complete. While the trail isn't officially open, it's accessible from Van Cortlandt Park. Due to a recent storm, there are numerous downed trees; however, there are worn paths to get around them. You just have to get off your bike a few times. While the trail was fun to ride even when it was rough, the new surface is very smooth, really quick, and accessible to all. This trail provides access from the Bronx to Westchester County, via the South County and North County trails.
