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.
This is a great paved trail that connects New Paltz to the Walkway Over the Hudson and then to the Dutchess County Rail Trail. Done together, you can ride for well over 60 miles if you want. The Hampton Inn in New Paltz is a great place to stay with the trail starting just across the street. The hotel also provides easy access to the Wallkill Trail.
trail is closed through what used to be lasalle park, is now maybe ralph wilson park? has been closed for at least 2 years and will remain closed for a least another year.
Perfect for my elderly dog since we have not been on long walks for the past year. Beautiful scenery of the river, geese flying close to the water, a place to let your loved dog get close to and into the water, and places to sit and just enjoy nature!! Great for MAHA 15 minute walks!
Driving across NY, wanted an exercise break, & got to see a Finger Lake . This rails to trail reminds one of the variety one can expect to see across the broader network of trails. If one parks at the southern end in Horsehead just off of interstate 86, it is really 27 miles up & back. The northern end is at Lake Seneca and Watkins’s Glen - a fun town with lots of little cafes and interesting stores. Along the way, one can see a beautiful waterfall, pretty churches, a canal, decrepit buildings, forests and marshes. Biking surfaces are definitely varied (grass, dirt, gravel, pavement, bridges) and depending on wetness, better done on tires with better treads. E-bikes were perfect on a moist day. My husband would have been happier if we had driven to a further north trailhead to reduce mileage and take up less time.
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.
I’ve gone through the entire trail several times and it’s a relaxing ride the most part! The only issue is on the eastern most portion of the trail from Victor Rd. to Pannell Rd. where there’s a couple patches of the trail that has too much stones packed in certain spots which almost caused me to lose control.
The trail was really nice if you went towards Wurtsboro, butttt we originally made the mistake of going the other way and wound up at the Texas Chain Saw House. I thought we were going to be killed by a rapid dog. The trail was very confusing, maybe we weren't going the right way??? It did look like the trail indicated to go straight, but there was a car parked in the middle of the trail and crazy dogs not fenced and only on a rope. I thought it would get loose and tear myself and my dog apart. There's got to be better markings. Or someone needs to figure out a way to make this homeowner happy, because clearly he is disgruntled.
What a wonderful ride , we did a total of 30 miles from Middletown to Chester and back ! Awesome trail wonderful maintenance of the trail!! Would recommend to anyone that wants to ride Loved the many Jonny on the spots and benches along the trail! As well as eating and drinks along the way to buy ! Even a bike repair station on the trail!!!! ¿¿¿¿ Kevin & Pat Bennett
Parked at northern end just S of Orphan Farm Rd, NY; Trail surface is outstanding including numerous portions of elevated sections over wetlands. Did not see much in the way of wildlife. Quite rural with the 1st p potty 10 miles south; Turned back at Millerton; Shade 50% or so.
We did the trail on a trip to the Finger Lakes. The trail surface was terrible. Evidently, someone decided that the trail surface needed some TLC. The problem was that the remedy was worse than the previous condition. I would describe riding the trail like riding an existing railroad bed with the ties inplace and a layer of talc on top. And that's with a gravel bike with 2.2" tires. When I got back to the car, there were 2 other riders loading their bikes and they both said how they had to turn around because the trail was so bad. The scenery wasn't anything special and there was constant noise from cars on highway 14 which paralleled the trail. Signage was also poor and there were numerous times that you weren't sure where the trail was. All in all not the worst trail but don't think I would ever come back.
