River-to-Ridge Trail — Attraction in Town of New Paltz

Really beautiful trail that provides a combination of wide open landscapes and forest areas. It has a good mix of challenging hills and relatively flat area. We rented an E-bike from New Paltz Biking, which made all the challenging areas a breeze. This is a mixed use trail, so bikers have to conscious of other users who might be jogging, walking or hiking. The trail can also take you further into the Mohonk preserve - entrance fees are required at some points- which is also a beautiful ride. Extremely well worth the visit and absolutely ranks as one of my favorite...

10/2020: Beautiful, spacious gravel path meandering through fields and meadows. Keep in mind there’s no shade. Great for walking/running and biking. Mostly flat, with incline in a couple areas. Easy difficulty level for all ages. You eventually come to a gorgeous view of the mountains. So beautiful with the leaves changing! Clean, well maintained. Large, free parking lot. Dogs are welcome but must be on leash. No bathroom facilities on site. You might even see some cows on your walk! We walked, but would definitely love to come back and bike ride. Easy to...

Great trail (carriage road) that brings you from the Wallkill River to the Shawangunk Ridge. The trail connects to Lenape Lane which is part of the Mohonk Preserve. Be sure to have your Mohonk pass on you if going on to the property because they will check for your pass. Annual passes can be purchased on their website or a day pass can be purchased at the Mohonk gate house. Beautiful views and relaxing scenery to go for a walk, run, or bike. I absolutely love this area....
