Nyack Beach State Park features a flat, two-mile multi-use path along the Hudson River, which is also part of the Hudson River Valley Greenway. The Nyack River Trail offers scenic views with the river on one side and the towering Palisades cliffs on the other. It is open for biking, walking, fishing, and cross-country skiing in the winter. The park is part of a larger network of parks including Rockland Lake, Hook Mountain, and Haverstraw Beach State Parks.

Haverstraw River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful path though the woods and along the river. The path is winding and narrow at times, and bikers share the path with pedestrians.

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.

Nyack River Trail - Gravel stretch at the waterfront

Highlight • Trail

great stretch of fine gravel. can get crowded on nice days. open to walkers and riders.

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!

Old Erie Rail Trail (gravel)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From this point there is a view of the mighty bridge, which can be crossed on a great bike lane. It's still a long way to New York, but you could also take the train.

Piermont Railway Station (historic)

Highlight • Historical Site

A restored 19th-century train station building at the start of a beautiful gravel trail. You can find many other interesting details on the photographed information board, but you should still go there.
