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.
Went from the Thuway area in Poughkeepsie over the walkway and ride to Hopewell junction .Nice trail well groomed , paved not much to look at but very cool what the volunteers did to the RR depot , signal house and pavilion, the depot museum was great . Went to Daddy O’s restaurant on the trail , good food . The NY empire trail continues along live tracks goes I believe quite far .
Nice trail a must do . From Kingston it’s paved at least 5 -6 miles the rest is easy ride great scenery !
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.
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.
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.
Wildly inconsistent and discontinuous trail. Has potential, but I sense it will be many, many years before this will rival the trails on the east side of the Catskills. Skip this and just go to the Heritage Trail in Middletown.
This is a great trail that is now suffering from neglect . The weeds are so overgrown that the trail is almost down to a single lane.
Nice and wide. Plenty of room for walkers, runners and bikers alike. Hudson Valley really has a great series of trails and this is one of them. Connects the Walkway Over the Hudson to the Maybrook Trailway. Bikers dream.
I tried this trail starting in two spots. First at the north end off 208. The first few hundred yards are good, but then it becomes overgrown. I went through the brush and mud for another few hundred yards, but turned around at a washed out culvert. Next I drove to the north end of the southern section off S road. This was better. Bumpy with roots across the trail. Foot tall grass in most places, but passable for a half mile or so. After the underpass there are several bridges in degrading condition. I didn't dare ride across, but walked these. There were also downed trees in two spots. A little over a mile in I turned around at another rotting bridge that had 3 large snakes (I believe Northern Water Snakes, but not 100% sure).
I wouldn't waste your time with trying this trail.
Great trail did from Harriman to Middletown plenty of opportunities to get food & water . I recommend Mason’s Place in New Hampton right on the trail breakfast lunch , dinner & bar . Very cool 1866 place , lots of history , good food . The owner Brett was very accommodating and offered to stay late for us .
