The South County Trailway loop from Hastings-on-Hudson offers a delightful escape on two wheels, guiding you through a surprising mix of wooded areas, local parks, and along the Saw Mill River floodplain. Despite its urban surroundings, the paved rail-trail provides a genuine "backcountry route" feel, with smooth surfaces perfect for touring cycling. You'll encounter historic marker plaques at former railroad stations, hinting at the trail's past life, and can even make a stop at the Great Hunger Memorial Park in Elmsford.
Planning your ride is simple, with easy access from Hastings-on-Hudson via a dedicated pedestrian bridge. This popular multi-use path is well-maintained and suitable for year-round use, though checking conditions after rain is always a good idea due to its proximity to riverbanks. Given its popularity, you'll be sharing the path with a variety of users, so be mindful of others.
This 34.7-mile (55.8 km) touring cycling loop, with 1264 feet (385 metres) of elevation gain, is rated moderate and typically takes about 3 hours and 21 minutes to complete. It's a crucial north-south spine for car-free travel in Westchester County, connecting seamlessly with the North County Trailway to form part of the larger Empire State Trail. This makes it an excellent choice for cyclists seeking a longer, sustained ride through a diverse landscape.
