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.

Planning your visit
