Saddle River County Park Bike Path

Beautiful Trail/No E-bikes Allowed

September, 2024 by stakrx

We had a beautiful day riding this trail! There were a lot of people, however, that's to be expected on a wonderful Sunday afternoon. The only downside was that we were stopped and given a warning, with my name taken and entered into the officers computer, by a County Sherif officer that e-bikes are prohibited in all Bergen County parks. Unfortunately we won't be back to this trail again.

Laurelton Greenway

It should be used mostly for walking back and forth. Really good for the kids or folk just learning to ride their bicycle. I used it to practice clipping in and out of my pedals. It's also really neat and clean. Also a lil park as well.

Boulevard Trolley Line Path

Too busy for bikes by 10 a.m. on a weekend

September, 2024 by lizleih

This path looks nice, but when we tried to take our family of four for a bike ride, we saw that it was too packed with dog walkers and runners for comfort. We arrived later than planned, about 10 a.m., so maybe if you go earlier on a weekend it would be okay. Also the address for the parking took us to a beach that said for "Mountain Lakes residents only" so then we went to the church parking lot (St. Catherine's I believe,) but by then we decided it that it was just too busy for 4 cyclists.

Sussex Branch Trail

Single Track Mountain Bike Kinda Trail

August, 2024 by scott123180

Tried this trail with 35mm's but it's really a mountain biking trail. Single track and a bit overgrown in places. I'm sure other parts of it are nice. I wish it was a bit more maintained and wider.

Bethpage Bikeway

Great ride

August, 2024 by f9rys6884g

Biked the entire run, from Woodbury to Massapequa. Completely paved path the entire way. Only half-dozen “small bumps” along the entire way due to tree roots, but seriously, nothing to complain about.

Heritage Trail (NY)

A paved gem

August, 2024 by eswnyc

This isn’t the most scenic trail in the world, but it’s in spectacular condition, paved from end to end, busy on weekends but never overcrowded. There are a few nice stops along the trail. Beware: there is a slightly confusing part in Goshen where the trail has a short gap - the signage is not great so you might fumble around to find the next section, but it’s totally worth the trouble.

West Morris Greenway

Good on a sunny day

August, 2024 by z4g9gshqpr

Trail will take you from Horseshoe Lake Park down to Chester. Flat, cinders and dirt. Couple of trees down on the route but easy to scale over. Good shade. With a good pace you can make it down and back in about an hour. Great option for local riders or for a stroll in the woods.
