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.

Highlight • Cafe

Cute town full of cyclists during the weekend. Check out the coffee spot 'Boxer' for amazing donuts and coffee.

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 …
