Trolley Trail (NY)

very fun trail to run winding through where you wouldn’t expect it

April, 2026 by isaactrowbridge

This is a great trail for a more or less level trail run. A decent bit of asphalt but way more gravel trail. Follow the blue blazes and you’ll run parallel to the Auburn trail which is way more fun - single track through the woods. There is a fun red blazed trail as well although it eventually gets cut off by an overgrown swampy area.

Chenango Greenway River Trail (South)

Trail by the River

March, 2026 by talk2franknow

Great addition to the trails in Norwich NY within walking distance of city residents. Great for pets and bikes too.

Genesee Valley Greenway

Awesome Trail, do not attempt unprepared.

February, 2026 by ajsavitsky

I love this trail. There's a trailhead right down the street from where I go to school up in Rochester, and it makes for a great endurance ride on a late summer or early fall day. Typically, I'll pick up the trail head and ride south down to Wadsworth Junction, where I can then pick up the Lehigh Valley trail. Generally speaking I have nothing bad to say about this trail. It's pretty well maintained, has some beautiful scenery, and a lot of cool history scattered throughout. However, a word of caution: It was the Sunday before Columbus day, I had some time to kill, and I decided I wanted to take the trail down to the Junction point in Piffard (Not the same as Pittsford). At this point in time, I hadn't gone anywhere past Wadsworth junction yet, so I was pretty much riding blind. As I got further south past Wadsworth, the terrain got significantly more sketchy. Trenches, muddy conditions, and A LOT of hedge apples. Not to mention the sheer amount of leaves that had fallen making it hard to plot a line ahead. Against all odds, I made it to my destination, and back in one piece, having only wiped out once. The moral of this story is, while the trail is awesome, do not attempt with out proper preparation. If you're like me, and you like to ride a gravel setup for versatility, be warned that standard gravel tires are probably not enough for the southern part of this trail specifically, and you might want to swap them for something more grippy (e.g. a cx tire) if you plan on going further. Great trail! Ride with caution.

North Shore Rail Trail

Not plowed

February, 2026 by polecatwillie

Why has this trail not been plowed?? It has been snowed over since December.

Junction Pass and Crossroads Trail

Another Great Trail

February, 2026 by ckenisto

This trail connects to the Adirondack Rail Trail at the Tupper Lake Train Station and takes you directly to the Waterfront Park across from McDonalds. It’s a great trail and highly popular with the locals. The Waterfront portion is paved and takes you into Flanders Park which has a playground, a ball park ( Home of the River Pigs semi-pro baseball team), volleyball courts, little league park and the Sunset Stage where Tupper Lake Arts hosts live music every Monday and Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm during the summer months. It’s a great ride and a wonderful place to visit!

Ashokan Rail Trail

Views, History and nice bike path

December, 2025 by tombegg14

IT had great views, history and parking. Stopped and had our lunch in a quiet spot overlooking the water. Saw a Bear ¿ at one end..he didn’t catch us :)

Ashokan Rail Trail

One of our East coast favorites

November, 2025 by kleistikow

We biked on a Sunday in May. Plenty of parking at West Hurley. The scenery was stunning and varied. Started in forests, with some reminders of people who made their living in these woods. Ended with views of Catskills and the reservoir. Truly stunning views, wide, well maintained trail that we cycled on our hybrids.

North County Trailway

Smooth riding, lovely view- part 2

November, 2025 by kleistikow

The ‘protected bike lane’ is more like a highway breakdown lane, but separated by a guardrail. Again, not pretty, but it is a safe and efficient way to get from Point A to Point B.

North County Trailway

Smooth riding, lovely views

November, 2025 by kleistikow

We parked at northern end of South County trail, Elmsford, and turned around at mile 33 marker, Shenorock. Paved trail is perfectly maintained, beautiful foliage. The next time we would park at New Castle, however, to avoid rush hour traffic smells and sounds of Saw Mill River Parkway and Route 87. Both are quite close to trail. The Elmsford-New Castle section also has portions where trail leaves woods and is essentially in protected bike lane along county roads. Not pleasant ruding, although certsinly efficient wat you bike from Point A to Point B. These trails are seamlessly connected, leafing to MYC.

Sullivan O&W Rail Trail

roots and railroad ties

October, 2025 by bettysaar

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.

Heritage Trail (NY)

well maintained , interesting sites, and views along the way.

October, 2025 by toddburrparts

I rode from Harriman to the edge of Goshen. Nice smooth, pavement with little or no bumps. I found some interesting sites and information along the way. I will return to ride the second half of this heritage Trail.

Adirondack Rail Trail

Happiest Place in the Adirondacks!

October, 2025 by ckenisto

This trail is finally completed and is one of the best rail-trails I have ever ridden. It connects the communities of Tupper Lake, Lake Clear, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. It's extremely popular, taking you through remote wooded areas with lake vistas, and just enough community connections for you to pick up a coffee, beer or sandwich along the way. It's still a work in progress with more signs, benches, tables and rest areas yet to be completed, but it's a diamond in the rough, and sure to be in the Rails to Trails "Hall of Fame" in the future!
