This trail continues 8 miles from Alley Pond Park all the way to Flushing Meadows Park, home of the 2024 World Series champion NY Mets! You only have to cross 3 streets for the entire ride. You continue past Cunningham park to peck fields then to Kissena Park, Kissena Corridor Park, then alongside the Queens botanical garden. It’s pretty flat, nicely paved, and you can safely ride it at night. Leave your
We attempted to ride the entirety of the greenway in two halves, north and south. North have was pretty good--a lot of raised roots on pavement--from Valhalla and south to Bronxville. The southern half began with an abrupt dead end below Bronxville, followed by miles on road. We eventually linked up with a bike lane alongside roadways that led us as far south as Bronx Zoo. Overall, the trail lack good markings and directives. We were disappointed with the southern section of greenway and aborted plans of continuing to the East River. Wanted to like it!
It should be used mostly for walking back and forth. Really good for the kids or folk just learning to ride their bicycle. I used it to practice clipping in and out of my pedals. It's also really neat and clean. Also a lil park as well.
We had a great ride! 6.6 miles. Beautiful day!
Biked the entire run, from Woodbury to Massapequa. Completely paved path the entire way. Only half-dozen “small bumps” along the entire way due to tree roots, but seriously, nothing to complain about.
This is a great trail that is now suffering from neglect . The weeds are so overgrown that the trail is almost down to a single lane.
Easy riding trail. Lots of crossings There are no center posts on some of the crossings making the crossings much easier to navigate. Hope the rest of the center posts could be removed
......of having a trail where there is nowhere to park???
The smoothest trail you will find anywhere around NYC. Nice and long, mostly flat. As others have pointed out, plants are beginning to overgrow on the Dutchess County end and need to be cut back. But the trail goes by numerous lakes and offers fantastic views. Highly recommend. Just make sure to start early because the trail is quite long.
Excellent trail except for the staircase once you get into Brewster from the Danbury area. Why wasn't a ramp put in instead of 2 steep staircases to carry a bike up or down?
The Dutchess County portion of this incredible biking trail is almost unusable right now. Weeds wildly overgrown and sticking out 4-5 feet into the trail on either side. The Dutchess County people responsible for this negligence should be ashamed of themselves.
