Harriman State Park Bike Trail
4 reviews
 2.5 of 5

This is the only legal riding in Harriman currently: Vehicle width woods-roads. Combination of slighty technical rock/root sections to gravel carriageways. Several short low gear climbs and fast descents, including a 1.5 mile continuous grade hill - very fast descent/mild climb. The loop can be fast in either direction, although drasticly different.

Summary:
There is only one legal bike trail in Harriman State Park. There isn'y anything exhilarating at his place, no significant elevation changes, and nothing technical about it. I ride here with my girlfriend to introduce her to mountain biking and develop her confidence with clipless pedals and getting over obstacles but soon she will be able to graduate from this place. This is not for an experienced mountain biker so just come here if you want to ride in the woods with someone new.

Recommended Route:
There is only one bike trail

Summary:
This is a nice intermediate trail. Rocky and twisty trails. Uphill and downhill. Its a nice trail if you want some exersize but nothing too extreme. Be careful not to get lost. Its easy to get off trails

Recommended Route:
Trails starts at the end of the second parking lot. There is a big sign.

Ridden Trail:
Once a year

Reviewed by: jamesdeluxe , from Brooklyn, NY

Summary:
Although this ride is no more than five miles long, it serves as a nice one-hour warm-up for Blue Mountain in nearby Peekskill, and is a lot more fun than you would think. Once you leave the fire road, there are lots of rocks and junk to deal with, and it twists through a beautiful forest. It's a shame that Harriman won't open up the park to mt. biking. There are tons of unused fireroads here that hikers never step foot on. In his Mountain Biking New York book, Michael Margulis included at least eight great rides, but when I attempted one about two years ago, I was promptly busted by park police. If I hadn't shown them the book with a detailed description of the ride, they would have fined me AND confiscated my bike.

Recommended Route:
Follow the previous directions

Summary:
There are NO LEGAL TRAILS in Harriman! The only riding you can do is on a weak carriage trail and it's short and boring.

Recommended Route:
None...

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Go to Blue Mountain in Peekskill.
