Haverstraw River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

You can enjoy almost five miles of biking along the river on this pretty, though sometimes narrow, trail. Watch out for other trail users, and please don't try this on skinny bike tires; there are parts where some riders might rather have a mountain bike, or at least a gravel bike.

Hudson River Waterfront Trail at Nyack Beach State Park

Highlight • Trail

Roughly a mile and a half of (mostly) empty handpicked gravel. Totally doable on a road bike. If you take the turn up to Rockland Lake beware the 12% gradient up from the river. If you continue on to Haverstraw it's another 3.5 miles of gravel and dirt (a bit more of a challenge on a road bike but still manageable as long as you aren't trying to set any speed records). A really nice reprieve from the more commonly traveled ride on 9w!
