This time of year the trail is scenic and quiet. But as it says don’t bring your road bike because many parts are with coarse stone. Watch out on muggy days and bring the bug spray. If you do this, it’s a good trail.
The first section from Bruglar Road to Station Road (Paulinskill Viaduct) needs a lot of maintenance but is rideable. Single track with tall grass and multi flora rose branches in the way. They have been removing lots of dead trees from the airport to Blairstown with a bit of truck tire damage. This first 7.5 mile section is beautiful with great views of the river and the viaduct and farms but all of it needs stone dust to level it out. It could easily be as popular as the Columbia trail if the township of Knowltown or the county cared enough to maintain it.
When I first walked this trail I had no clue of it’s true size, starting from a bridge opening over the canal near New Brunswick I was simply on a walk and wanted to wander, to my surprise the trail simply kept going and going though, I was walking for miles seeing plenty of wondrous nature, enjoying the sound of the water flowing by me, ducks and turtles and all manner of fauna around me. I felt like I had walked into another world sitting just at the edge of the highly populated busy cities, but they remained on the other side of the river, while I was out in nature. Quickly I knew I was up against a titan of a trail compared to the 10 mile long paths I had gotten good at overcoming, but only after I had moved off the path and gone home did I truly realize how little I had seen. I felt a sense of giddy wonder and accomplishment, as well as curiosity. I had seen so much that day, but in truth, I was only scratching the surface. If you live near an entrance to this trail I implore you to give it a try, it’s not ideal for biking, but to see how far you can walk? It may be the best option in the state.
Mostly paved and tree covered. Will try bikes next. Is there a way to track miles covered?
Reviewing for biking. No as long as it says…and you need to cross the streets a few times. Also lacking good signage.
It’s perfect for people who love nature—lots of forest and good trails. I really liked it.
I’ve gone a few times to ride my bike however I’ve almost got taken out by people on racing bikes and think they are in a triathlon..not cool
Cute park area, playground for kids, pavilion, picnic tables, grills. Boat launch and museum, although the museum had a sign that it is no longer open. I parked at the visitor center and biked the Heritage Trail. Easy, gravel, a couple of ponds along the way. Ends at 209.
Flat, paved rail trail. Dead ends at almost one mile. Located right in Port Jervis town.
Started the ride at the Sharon Station parking lot. Headed south towards Cream Ridge. Loose gravel and sandy areas may challenge some riders. Road tires might be an issue. Shaded, mostly flat trail. May see some deer.
I'm a senior, just getting back into riding. I wanted to try the "14 mile loop" I have a hybrid bike and completed the loop, but probably wouldn't do it again due to the Great Valley Trail part of the loop. I found Great Valley to be less maintained than the Paulinskill and Sussex branches of the loop. I found the loop grassy and bumpy in the beginning (Augusta Hills Rd) and then the trail narrowed and became more of a single lane trail that was rutted and overgrown with tall vegetation. Had to get off the bike once to carry the bike over a tree. Connecting back up to the Paulinskill branch was a welcome site. Great Valley is certainly doable, but it was the least enjoyable part of the loop.
