Catharine Valley Trail

A decent trail

August, 2026 by couillarjg

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.

Adirondack Rail Trail

Worth the Wait

July, 2026 by basil1986

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.

Adirondack Rail Trail

Beautiful scenery from Tupper Lake to Lake Clear. Last couple of miles if going east towards Lake Placid is a deceiving uphill with not much shade. Overall a great trail.

Cato-Fair Haven Trail

A descent trail for the fat tire bikes

July, 2026 by ibew241

Rode round trip from Cato. Trail was better than I had hoped. Though there were a lot of puddles to go around, I enjoyed the ride. The scenery was beautiful with lots of wetlands and forest scenes. I would recommend the trail for biking as long as you are on a mountain bike or a fat tire bike.

Lehigh Valley Trail - North Branch

Love The Trailhead Garden!!

The trailhead garden at East Henrietta Road is beautiful in the spring, summer and fall! I know because I am one of the volunteers that maintains it! Yay us! Please, let us know how we're doing and contact us at henriettafoundation.com if you would like to help! Also, we would love some interesting photos and/or info to add to the trailhead kiosk! Thanks!

Albany-Hudson Electric Trail

Started at Nassau Lake TH

July, 2026 by adsaxs

We are casual cyclists (no ebikes) and decided to take a short ride on this trail. We parked at the Nassau Lake Trailhead which has about 13 parking spots. We headed towards East Greenbush and cycled about 8 miles before turning around. The 8 mile section of the trail we cycled was paved and very well maintained. There was a slight elevation gain in this section but made for a nice downhill on the way back. There were no amenities on the 8 mile route. The trail had a couple of easy street crossings but was mostly off-road.

On the way back, we continued pass the TH parking for about 3 miles to the Village of Nassau to have a look. There is another TH in town next to a small park and across the street from an ice cream shop. This section of the trail in the village was flat. If we had the time, we would have gone further.

I would recommend this trail.

Delaware and Hudson Rail-Trail

Tale of 3 Trails

July, 2026 by trylondm

I did the entire trail, excepting the on-road portion in New York. Each section (the two in Vermont and the central part in New York) was quite different from the others, so I've broken my review into 3 parts.

The northern Vermont section (Poultney to Castleton) was in good shape and appears to get a lot of use, maybe 3 to 1 walkers to bikers. The surface of quarter inch gravel was not ideal, but enough has been brushed aside over the years that the ride was smooth and comfortable. It is well-maintained, mowed with no washouts or potholes, and just the right number of historical signs. It is generally well-shaded but probably the least scenic of the three sections.

The southern Vermont section (West Pawlet to West Rupert) was much more open and scenic, especially near Rupert, but Vermont's choice of quarter inch gravel surface is still generally in place so slows down the ride. A short detour to the general store in West Rupert for ice cream was a treat, as was a trail-side stream at the southern end to cool off in. The gentle slope made the northbound ride here more enjoyable than the southbound one. The trail was as well maintained as the northern portion. Ratio probably 4 to 1 bikers over walkers/joggers but fewer of both than the northern section.

The middle section in New York (West Pawlet to Middle Granville) was completely different. Parts of the surface were cinder (perfect for riding) while other parts were completely grass covered (and mowed) and as a result felt much like riding on someone's lawn - soft and slow. The scenery was less interesting, but the section in Granville was nice, with a park and B&B right on the trail. I didn't have time to explore the town, though. Despite the sunny Sunday, I saw few others using this part of the trail.

All in all, the trail was OK and has a lot of potential. With a better stone dust surface, I would have given it a 5-star. If the 4-mile break in New York between sections were completed, this would become a destination ride. With fall colors, it would be exceptional.

North County Trailway

Now renamed to the Andrew O'Rourke Westchester County Trailway

July, 2026 by joann.brereton

Wonderful trail. Part of the larger Empire State Trailway. This part from Eastview to Baldwin Place is the section I ride the most. Mostly shaded once you're north of Millwood with plenty of spots where you can stop for a bite or veer off for road riding near the reservoirs.

WARNING !!!!! - TREES DOWN EVERYWHERE For 3 Mile Stretch

July, 2026 by sisophous

The trail is not accessible for a 3-mile stretch. From Green Haven and then Eastbound is impossible to pass. Trees have fallen down virtually every 50 yards blocking passage. I carried my bike past about 6 trees and each time I saw another tree blocking the trail. I came across a clean up crew that told me the downed trees went all the way to Green Haven. I was 3 miles east of Green Haven when the mess started. There is also debris along the entire section which I was fortunate not to get a flat tire. The cleaning crew told me they have only 4 people and they will try to hire a contractor to clear the trees. There is no way a crew of 4 people could handle this. It would take them months to clean it up. (July 10, 2026)

Dryden Rail Trail

Nature's Haven

July, 2026 by geckert

Started south end E.Lake Rd, end at Freeville Station. Nice variety, rural, flat, good signage, well maintained (cut grass, lots of benches). 1/2 shade, 1/2 open - 1 mi of grass, single-track, mostly cinders. Traveled past wetlands & lake. We saw ducks, lots of birds, bald eagle, young doe in creek, beaver dams. Good ice cream shop in Dryden. Nice 15 mile ride! Visiting from PA.
