The middle of the trail on Richmond st is on the road shared with cars. Needs a bike path on Richmond st to connect wheatsheaf to Lewis.
This was a great place to jog. I just did the loop, (not the tail part of it) and that was 2.5 miles. Benches along the way which I used to stretch before and after. The trails were pretty with the colorful fall trees. It was quiet until you get to the street part, but it’s a short distance.
We recently did a loop ride, crossing the George Washington Bridge and Mario Cuomo Bridges. This trail was a seamless connector from Rt. 9 and the town of Sparkill to the MCB. It's fairly narrow with occasional views across the Hudson River and the bridge. The condition was pretty good, gravel/dirt.
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!
I would not recommend. The area wasn’t kept up. Not a lot of nature, at least not that I felt comfortable walking through with my kids. But I found a couple nearby who was doing what looked like excellent car detailing service!
The East River Greenway is under construction. There is no access between 76th and 71st streets. The newly built portion between 71st and 52nd streets is quite nice. The section between 52nd and 37th still needs to be built. Further downtown, the greenway is closed south of 23rd until about the seaport. Hopefully it’ll be ready for next spring.
While profiling the Lehigh Valley trails over the past year, I've noticed that several of them have a particular theme. The Ironton Rail Trail prominently highlights the cement and iron industries that were served by the old RR by taking users past the ruins of several mills and preserving numerous pieces of infrastructure and memorabilia from the RR itself. The D&L Trail, meanwhile, focuses on the role water transportation played in the region's economies as it winds its way past numerous locks and historic buildings that once served the Lehigh and Delaware canals.
Named in honor of a German immigrant who moved to Easton and became a renowned artist, the Karl Stirner Arts Trail celebrates the thriving community he established in the city. The 2.4 mile long trail follows the banks of Bushkill Creek from N. 13th Street to the south end of Lafayette College campus, where it extends into downtown Easton via a concurrency along 3rd Street. Cyclists will appreciate the trail's smooth, asphalt surface, though the shorter, woodchip and earthen nature trail that branches off at about midpoint and passes beneath an abandoned RR bridge is also worth checking out. Caution should also be used on the eastern half of the trail, which mostly follows on-street concurrencies with Bushkill Drive and 3rd Street.
However, the trail is most notable for the numerous sculptures, murals and paintings that line its route. Although several of these works were created by local artists, some came from as far away as California, and one, a gate near the Blue Bridge over Bushkill Creek, was constructed by Stirner himself prior to his death in 2016. Several pieces of infrastructure, including an electrical box and guard fences lining the trail, are also artistically decorated, while the Witness Tree, a giant American Sycamore situated along the trail near the Blue Bridge that has been dated to 1757, is celebrated as a natural work of art. It's also common to see outdoor art classes being conducted. Although the trail, which follows an old RR grade, is level and bicycle friendly, I recommend doing it on foot in order to fully appreciate all it has to offer. Easton's Linear Art Gallery is a fitting tribute to the legacy of one of the region's most influential residents in recent history.
We had a beautiful day riding this trail! There were a lot of people, however, that's to be expected on a wonderful Sunday afternoon. The only downside was that we were stopped and given a warning, with my name taken and entered into the officers computer, by a County Sherif officer that e-bikes are prohibited in all Bergen County parks. Unfortunately we won't be back to this trail again.
Truly loved this trail we went on a Sunday September, we had our electric bikes it was so much fun. Coming back for sure!
Really poor signage and trail markings
Does anyone know if the trail is open between Jim Thorpe train station & Weissport is open? We are heading there this weekend of 9/13-15/2024. It’s been closed for most of the spring/summer season 2024 for construction. Just curious if we shout just head to the Weissport parking lot. Although the trail between JT & Weissport is a fun ride.
