Easy road ride. Great for any fitness level. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Joseph Clark Rail Trail South of Sparkill

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

As of June 2024, this stretch of rail trail is rather smooth with the exception of some cracking and bumps here and there. Felt fine on 25mm road tires — the whole rail trail is very rideable.
