The trail is good and scenic with moderate inclines/declines but the biggest issue is proximity to a busy road along with constant crossing of driveways and roads making it quite dangerous for small kids who don’t pay attention. Park at the St Catherine’s church’s parking but crossing the street itself is a bit risky with small kids.
I saw that this trail rode along the canal so I was ready for some beautiful scenery. Well that is does deliver, but the path is very flat with no elevation variation. My family likes a hill here and there to coast through and catch some speed, but this trail (at least the part we rode) has none of this. We picked up the trail in Millstone at Amwell Road.
Spectacular views! We road from Dyckman Street Viaduct to The Battery. Hudson River almost always in view. You go right under the George Washington Bridge. Flat, easy ride (note some hills at the north end but you can walk them- they are not long). Along with the sights, always somewhere to stop and get a bite. We generally ride very rural routes so this was a treat for us. Yes, there are a lot of people, motorized scooters, etc. so you have to be alert, but well worth it. We went on a Tuesday, so not too crowded. We parked in a parking garage on Dyckman Street. They were very familiar with cyclists and let you take your time to get your bikes off the rack and get your gear. Bucket list ride for me!
Rode Thursday. Better to start in from mid point city park. Blair town On both ends of trail last few miles are a bit rough. Due to recent rain a few areas were muddy. Nice ride. Nice shade. Along river and farmlands
Its my kids 1st trail bike experience, they enjoy the trail so much and they want to comeback for another ride
Overall a decent trail that’s flanked by some wetlands, plenty of trees, and actually goes a bit further than the 4 miles listen on here (goes an extra ~1.5 miles past the ‘end’). Some gravel at the beginning of the trail but it quickly turns to just dirt, but isn’t too bad to ride on. Next to a swampy / wetland area for a good portion of the first 2 or so miles, bugs may be more of an issue if you are walking as long as you’re moving it’s not much of an issue.
Wonderful ride. Follow the pipeline in between the 1st section. You ride on grass for a bit, and then you come to the 2nd trail head. People were friendly. I rode on a Saturday, and was surprised that it wasn't crowded. Easy trail
Great ride. Trail was in great shape. Did 8 mile stretch from Tannery to State Park.
July 18th 2021 Fun ride with lots of sights and history to take in. Rode with my Nephew, it is his local trail. Parts of our ride were awesome smooth wide trail and other parts were very rough narrow and bumpy. I will ride more of this trail next time that I am in the area.
This is a good trail for inline skating. Asphalt is very smooth. It's up and down the whole way so good cardio and fun downhill.
Recently repaved in sections, but done sloppily and left bumpy. The northern half of the trail has a lot of sunken and washboard sections that make it unpleasant to ride. From Van Cortlandt Park and about half way up the trail is nice, but from mid-point to where it connects to the north county trail is a mess.
