Roosevelt Farm Lane Trail — Attraction in Town of Hyde Park

This is a great trail. It's mostly paved or gravel and wide enough for a group of four to walk together easily. The trail itself is easy with sloping hills and soft turns but plenty long enough to give you a decent work out. My group walked it from Route 9 to 9G and back in about two hours.

Each sign gives you a number to enter and a recording will play about the history of that part of the trail. We really enjoyed listening to the recordings...
