Oradell Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The reservoir is beautiful, but completely fenced! A rest on the shore is unfortunately not possible... But the gravel road writer north is a pleasure and absolutely recommendable.

Oradell Reservoir Gravel Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Even if the reservoir is fenced in, I can absolutely recommend the section. Quiet nature around the Country Club, clear water and fragrant trees. Perfect natural underground, no asphalt.

Piermont Railway Station (historic)

Highlight • Historical Site

A restored 19th-century train station building at the start of a beautiful gravel trail. You can find many other interesting details on the photographed information board, but you should still go there.

Hudson River Waterfront Trail at Nyack Beach State Park

Highlight • Trail

Roughly a mile and a half of (mostly) empty handpicked gravel. Totally doable on a road bike. If you take the turn up to Rockland Lake beware the 12% gradient …

Old Erie Rail Trail (gravel)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From this point there is a view of the mighty bridge, which can be crossed on a great bike lane. It's still a long way to New York, but you could also take the train.
