The trail is primarily shaded with a few places that are not. You are mostly surrounded by trees, with only a couple of bridges or water views. It’s nicely maintained packed gravel. Keep a watch for the signs that tell you where the poison ivy is.
My family and I made this trail a multi-day ride so the kids could do the whole thing. I didn't realize the trail was so new when we planned the trip, but you can tell while riding it that all the improvements are new and the trail is remarkably smooth. The views along the lakes and marshes are spectacular and the stretch between Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake is an amazing ride through an otherwise very remote area. Stop by the Floodwood Outpost if you're passing by. The owner was great, and helped us find a good place to camp.
Flat, paved rail trail. Dead ends at almost one mile. Located right in Port Jervis town.
The Kirkland trail is great for running and walking. Wooded trail with nice views of streams and nearby farms at points. There is a parking area at Dugway road.
Loved this trail easy to ride. Well paved and clean. Will do this again and again.
We had high hopes for this trail and were disappointed. The parking area is a little sketchy and the trail itself is bumpy gravel. Some of it was just grass with big stones throughout. We actually turned around after about 3 miles because we thought we might blow a tire. Seems like it has potential but it is not maintained at all. The pictures are deceiving.
Beautiful views, well kept and wide trail. Olive to Boiceville has best views. "Road Bikes" are named to be on the road.
As others have said, the short paved part is beautiful. The rest is larger rocks surface in many areas and the path is very narrow. I’ve ridden some rough paths before but this one takes the cake. I turned around after one mile and decided that it wasn’t for me.
Pleasant shaded trail with on-street sections through town. Surface is mostly crushed stone, with some areas prone to washouts. In town signage could be better.
I have been watching the completion of this trail for some time and couldn’t wait to ride it, which I did this July. Worth the wait and spectacular in so many ways. The surface is pristine gravel (some paving around Saranac, with new guardrails and places for viewing the lakes and marshes. I was not prepared for the absolute beauty and remoteness at times. From Saranac through Floodwater to Tupper Lake there are not many signs of human habitation. A mother deer and her two babies crossed in front of us, as did a weasel. Even though I have an E Bike, I did the trail in two days: Lake Placid to Charlie’s Inn and Charlie’s to Tupper Lake. Gave me time to stop and enjoy the beauty of nature. Obviously care and planning has gone into this project. So glad I did it.
