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.
We decided to start across from the winery, and end our trip there. We went one way and hit roots and railroad ties immediately. We turned around and got the same. Needless to say, the winery was great. Would be a perfect hiking trail. It was beautiful.
Nice scenic ride . The mountaindale side goes through several abandon like towns nice ride mostly dirt / cinders / crushed stone lots of nice scenery for about 3 miles then you end at the Neversink River where a bridge is out so you have to pedal 7 miles via road to hook up on the Fallsburg side which is paved ,nice trail for 4 miles . Would do again , tables , benches and bike tool areas . No road bike for gravel part
started in hancock went 6 miles on rocky dirt road then hit nothing but rocks and impassable biking . no warning signs. please do not attempt
Wife a I ride this rail trail every chance we get. Very easy ride. Always start in Simpson and ride north to the red caboose and loop back to Simpson. Best part there is a downward grade back to Simpson so it's a breeze with some great relaxation.
I've ridden the trail from Simpson to Buck's Falls which is outside of Starrucca. The trail is well groomed until you hit the other side of Ararat. Then you run into ballast stone and coal silt. No ballast stone or coal silt from Simpson to Ararat.
Throughly enjoyed the trail end of the trail needs some work otherwise an awesome ride !!!
Beautiful trail. Well maintained. Headed west from Henrietta first, a little secluded. Only went about 2 miles then headed east to lock 33. Felt safer going east. Full of exercise traffic… love to see that!
I have ridden from Lansboro to Steven's Point several times. I'm from the area and can't find the trail from Steven's Point to Starucca. Where can I pick up the trail to Starucca.
Started in Simpson and headed north. The first 12 miles is very nice, except for the occasional noise from the ATV trail nearby. The next eight miles is a little rough, but not too bad. Then a mile of the trail was very soft, like they were working on the trail. After that, it becomes VERY rough - riding on balast. Some very nice scenery; has the potential to be a great trail - if they ever finish cindering the full length of the trail.
I tried this trail starting in two spots. First at the north end off 208. The first few hundred yards are good, but then it becomes overgrown. I went through the brush and mud for another few hundred yards, but turned around at a washed out culvert. Next I drove to the north end of the southern section off S road. This was better. Bumpy with roots across the trail. Foot tall grass in most places, but passable for a half mile or so. After the underpass there are several bridges in degrading condition. I didn't dare ride across, but walked these. There were also downed trees in two spots. A little over a mile in I turned around at another rotting bridge that had 3 large snakes (I believe Northern Water Snakes, but not 100% sure).
I wouldn't waste your time with trying this trail.
