Pompton Valley Rail Trail

beautiful new trail

September, 2025 by krawiec.monica

Awesome trail, I tried inline skating and I wouldn’t recommend. It’s definitely possible but not enjoyable. I feel like everything else is doable.

Jones Point Path

Bad shape currently!

September, 2025 by bsmith4_tl

Took a ride on this once nice restored short trail yesterday. The state needs to get back in there and do some basic maintenance. The overgrowth of weeds has turned this into barely a single track lane. Many limbs and broken fencing. It's a shame after all the time and money put into it a few years ago.

Old Croton Aqueduct Trail

OCA south end

September, 2025 by kaiser

Sandy Hook Multi-Use Pathway

Amazing

September, 2025 by mpd45

Such beautiful bike path going next to shore through wood like settings into old army base around island. Very safe scenic and smooth ride our new favorite place to go.

Farmington Canal Heritage Trail

Rode the entire trail…

September, 2025 by willipar

Rode the entire Farmington Canal Heritage Trail as part of a 2 day ride from Northampton to New Haven. What a fabulous experience! So much variety and New England splendor packed into one journey. It was very interesting to see how each of the towns maintained the trail differently. Everything from the paving to the signage changed as you moved from one village to the next. What an amazing treasure!

Saddle River County Park Bike Path

Heads up that ALL e- bikes are now banned in ALL Bergen County parks. Speed limit of 10mph for all (remaining) vehicles. ¿¿ Bummer.

Walkway Over The Hudson

Walkway Courtesy

August, 2025 by wayne7532

Yes Walkway is wonderful, just one problem Cyclist Courtesy.
Have rode and seen a lot of cycling after 60 years, but never the lack of cycle courtesy that takes place on Walkway. Cyclist not letting one know that one is passing on left, or better yet on right, speeding, limit is10 mph. This is not just happing to slower cyclist but also when passing pedestrians. This also applies to the new E Bike presidents.

Heritage Trail (NY)

Nice trail. Poor signage in Goshen

August, 2025 by ddylla

Overall, a very nice paved trail that’s well maintained but very poor connectivity and signage in Goshen. If not for that poor connection, I would have rated this trail five stars. Well worth checking out and hopefully Goshen will improve that stretch in the future.

Governor Cuomo Bridge

Horrible surface, great views

August, 2025 by vbergerg_tl

While all are grateful that bike and pedestrian access were built into the new TZ Bridge, the rough bumpy surface is completely awful. Neither easy on the feet nor pleasant for bikes. I don’t know if it was like this a few years ago or was planned this way, but it’s disappointing.

Heritage Trail (NY)

Maybrook Trailway

The Weeds Are Gone

August, 2025 by robertgerry

I just rode the trail today and the weeds mentioned in a previous review have now been mowed and the tree leaning across the trail near Whaley Lake has been cut. The trail is now in excellent condition with none of the typical rail trail root bumps encountered today. BobG.

North Shore Rail Trail

Love the trail, but.............

August, 2025 by pawerfel

Great trail, ride it frequently with my wife. Good workout for 22 miles. Main issue is not the road crossings; we ride many trails with more crossings than this, but on those, the towns take down the brush and you can see cars approaching the intersections. On this trail, you pretty much have to stop and inch out into the road to see these cars, many of whom are not "impressed" by the flashing yellow lights that you need to push a button for. Many drivers are looking at their phones rather than the road these days. You must appraoach these intersections as if you are invisible. Be safe
