Mostly cinder. Started from access lot off of RT 7. Shared RT Trail with the Town Of new Milford. Parallels an active track. Good variety of terrain and scenery..
We are casual cyclists (no ebikes) and decided to take a short ride on this trail. We parked at the Nassau Lake Trailhead which has about 13 parking spots. We headed towards East Greenbush and cycled about 8 miles before turning around. The 8 mile section of the trail we cycled was paved and very well maintained. There was a slight elevation gain in this section but made for a nice downhill on the way back. There were no amenities on the 8 mile route. The trail had a couple of easy street crossings but was mostly off-road.
On the way back, we continued pass the TH parking for about 3 miles to the Village of Nassau to have a look. There is another TH in town next to a small park and across the street from an ice cream shop. This section of the trail in the village was flat. If we had the time, we would have gone further.
I would recommend this trail.
The trail is not accessible for a 3-mile stretch. From Green Haven and then Eastbound is impossible to pass. Trees have fallen down virtually every 50 yards blocking passage. I carried my bike past about 6 trees and each time I saw another tree blocking the trail. I came across a clean up crew that told me the downed trees went all the way to Green Haven. I was 3 miles east of Green Haven when the mess started. There is also debris along the entire section which I was fortunate not to get a flat tire. The cleaning crew told me they have only 4 people and they will try to hire a contractor to clear the trees. There is no way a crew of 4 people could handle this. It would take them months to clean it up. (July 10, 2026)
I disagree with the description that this trail is packed enough for skinny road tires. There are parts with thicker gravel and I was glad to have gravel tires on my bike and even then it was a bumpy ride. Nice scenery, not too crowded, good bathrooms. Overall loved it.
The Trailways Bridge over the river in Brewster is open, eliminating the on-road detour. The eastern end is currently at the NY/CT line at Farrington Woods (with trail parking) in CT. Long range plans are to develop the CT portion of the RR path to Danbury.
There are far more legit parking areas than currently shown on TrailLink. Services are few and some might seem close lack easy access from route to road. High point is Whaley Lake. The trail is in good condition for it's entire length.
Quiet, peaceful, looking for a different perspective in life, these trails will definitely will. The Red trail leads to the science parts of the Hudson. The blue trail goes all around the large pond which is also beautiful.
IT had great views, history and parking. Stopped and had our lunch in a quiet spot overlooking the water. Saw a Bear ¿ at one end..he didn’t catch us :)
We biked on a Sunday in May. Plenty of parking at West Hurley. The scenery was stunning and varied. Started in forests, with some reminders of people who made their living in these woods. Ended with views of Catskills and the reservoir. Truly stunning views, wide, well maintained trail that we cycled on our hybrids.
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.
Currently there is a couple of sections that are really nice for the work thats been completed, but will be a fantastic trail once they have completed the sections necessary to connect them into one long trail. All the sections completed are mostly all paved and are great for walking/jogging/biking & wheelchair/stroller friendly. The only exception is tgr Naugatuck River Greenway section that starts at the Sullivan Senior Center, which has a paved trail that runs parallel to the the river and ends at the side road which you continue down a one way street that almost zig zags until you reach palmer bridge. Crossing the bridge and crossing to the paved trail that goes behind a condominium and continues until the end of the dirt parking lots (trail is paved) of John Toro Sports Complex, where the pavement ends towards the actual field. Then it transitions to the field with no defined trail. The Trail at that point isnt really distinct. I lived here most of my life and I didnt know until I saw a news article about The Rainbow Bridge and found that the trail in fact extended past where the pavement ends and continues straight past the dog park past both the first baseball field, the soccer field, and then about halfway through the 2nd baseball field there is a wide opening in the forest, where you then see the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge Trail. Which is an amazing small half looped trail, with some of the most beautiful works of art, and tributes to various pets (photos, stepping stones/memorial rock garden, a memorial fence, k-9 officers memorial bulletin board(s), sculptures, poems, signs, chairs, then the rainbow Bridge which is adorned with photos, momentos, stories, collars & tributes to pets of those who came to place their beloved pets memorials. After you find the exits shortly after that you can see the wide open pathway continues for a while on but ends at a fenced off area that currently is a business/underutilized "Sports park" that will eventually be replaced with a connector trail that will connect with other nearby trails.
