Harlem Valley Rail Trail

Rural trail with outstanding surface

August, 2025 by andrix

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.

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail

Update to my 2024 review

August, 2025 by andrix

Update to my 8/2024 review: Remains a TOP trail; At northern end easy parking at the Adams Visitor Center; Saw many signs of beaver activity - dams and huts - but no beavers. The Appalachian Trail crosses at Church Road in Cheshire; At southern end I turn back at the Crane Ave. parking area as, in my opinion, there's not much of interest in the remaining mile or so.

Harlem Valley Rail Trail

great trail

July, 2025 by elj317

did trail 7 years ago. What a change!! Smooth all the way from Copake Falls to Wassaic!!!! Did 50 mile round trip then took a dip in the spring fed lake at Taconic Hills State park. Can walk to the lake from the trail head at copake falls. Also a nice state park with interesting sights. We stayed in Great Barrington , 10 miles from Copake Falls. Make sure you check out the Barrington Brewery. Great beer, great food.

I have ridden this trail from one end to the other! Parts are wonderful and parts washed out and muddy!

Erie Canalway Trail

rode from Henrietta to lock 33

June, 2025 by tnuhyllek_tl

Beautiful trail. Well maintained. Headed west from Henrietta first, a little secluded. Only went about 2 miles then headed east to lock 33. Felt safer going east. Full of exercise traffic… love to see that!

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail

absolutely lovely

June, 2025 by sfrankovich

I rode this trail from the Northern tip south about 10 miles and back. It was very smooth pavement, a well marked trail and delightful views.

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail

A fantastic trail

June, 2025 by pjohnromeo

Rode it Friday. The views were beautiful, the trail was in great condition, and the road crossings were not a problem at all. I’ll definitely be riding this one again.

Keene Industrial Heritage Trail

short and delightfully maintained

June, 2025 by erikmurphy1

This portion of the Cheshire rail trail has almost no incline is completely straight and runs past a former major manufacturing complex, which is now vacant. Other sites include Keene police department and Keene ice and American house.

Canalside Rail Trail

Still Partially Closed

June, 2025 by gettinlate

As of 6/3/25 this trail is still closed south of 11th street.
There is a detour indicated, which we tried to follow, but quickly lost track of.
Found another way to access the trail further south, only to realize that we'd gotten onto the part of the trail that was officially closed.
I'm sure this will warrant a higher rating once it has re-opened, but we were more than a bit disappointed today.

Bog Meadow Brook Nature Trail

Better than I expected

May, 2025 by eli290

I’m not a trail master so take this with a grain of salt. I thought the trail was pretty good. I wanted a shorter trail with some scenery and this was good for exactly that. It was starting to rain so it cut my walk short however the trail was pretty well maintained with fresh wooden mulch to cover some of the wet areas. Not a lot of wildlife other than some birds, geese and butterflies. It was very peaceful and I will go back again

Southwick Rail Trail

A perfect little trail

April, 2025 by robert.richter89

I rode the entirety of the Southwick Rail Trail coming from the Farmington Canal in CT. The Farmington is in very good condition, the Southwick is in even better condition! There are mile markers every mile, the scenery is very peaceful and the trail is very flat making it an easy ride. I stopped as soon as I hit the Columbia Greenway but it is also a seamless transition to that trail as well.

I didn't notice any places to pull off for food but its a short trail so I don't consider that a negative. The trails that join this one really give you so many options for ride length or to visit the trail towns along the way.
