What to expect on Mohawk-Hudson Bike & Hike Trail loop from Mohawk River State Park
The route offers a dual personality; much of it follows the main Mohawk-Hudson Bike & Hike Trail, which is largely a flat, paved multi-use path perfect for a relaxed spin.

You'll pedal alongside the scenic Mohawk River, enjoying views from spots like Blatnick Park with its wildflowers, and passing landmarks such as Lock 7 and the old train station at Lions Park. This makes it ideal for riders who want the flexibility to choose their challenge level, from easy cruising to moderate technical sections.
