Wife and I had a nice ride through the trail. Will definitely be back. Nice area and plenty of benches along the way to sit and relax.
Started at Horseshoe Park, a County Park, to warm up for about 2 miles around. Pretty park, with a beach, however, not open to non-residents of the town. Overall, the riding surface varied too often. Biked the 1st mile or so south, on a wide cinder path, which was excellent, however, as you went further south, it changed to dirt, which was fine when it was dry mostly the case on a hot July weekend. Then it narrowed, then went through what felt like wagon, wheel,ruts, where you can only bike in narrow channels and hen widened at a few points. once or twice it was mud for a short distance. On a hot July day, it provided great tree cover, but was slightly buggy. You could tell that if it rained, it would be very buggy. was a very pleasant ride but not many varied things to see so it became a bit monotonous.
These are really 2 separate trails with a variety of surfaces and a bit of street riding. The Norwalk trail is mostly asphalt going north from the sound while the trail in Wilton has about half going through a wooded area with pea gravel. This is the most enjoyable spot to ride as the other half of the Wilton trail dies out north of town on Route 7 with nothing around. If they were ever able to connect the two routes you would have something.
I finally decided to check out HHT. I thought a Summer Saturday might be busy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I started at Highlands and headed west to Keyport. Very peaceful. Had a good ride and will definitely be back
I entered the trail on Ryder Road in Ossining and ran to the Teatown preserve and back (approximately 6 miles).
The trail is overgrown and not well maintained. There are points that are severely sloped and there are rocks hidden in high grass. Along the trail there is a creak that has stagnant water. The high grass and water leads to a large amount of bugs. I found a tick on my leg after the run.
On the trail there are abrupt up-hills that are not maintained or easy to traverse without coming to a slow walk due to rocks and roots. The scenery is beautiful but the trail needs a lot of love and care.
Rode this trail with my family . The trail takes you in a nice scenic route of mostly asphalt. A few hill but nothing a novice can’t handle.
One of my favorite rides of LI. Good speeds/pace going east. Return headwind can be tough.
Flat, great breeze and plenty of sun. Beautiful views heading down to Jones Beach then connect to Ocean Pkwy. Easily put in 20-30 miles round trip.
Finally reached it from the North County trail way and was both surprised and disappointed. Some nice spots but mostly odd hills and backend of towns. Expected it to be much nicer. Now I’m trying to figure out the road connections in Brewster to get to the better reviewed Maybrook.
Was good until they did some repair maintenance on the pavement a few years back. Now is got bumps and humps along the entire length. Really poor quality work.
Rode the approx. 33 mile loop the day after Memorial Day. We've had so much rain that the usual hard pack was a bit soft, especially on the PA return side. From Frenchtown to Lambertville, it is 90+ percent shade and is very smooth and easy until you get close to Lambertville. Had a nice lunch in New Hope at Triumph Brewery. Coming north back to Frenchtown posed some obstacles as we were forced off the tow path and had to ride the very narrow River Road twice because of small bridge repairs being done. Being a midweek day, the traffic wasn't so bad but I wouldn't try this on a weekend. The tow path side isn't as smooth and is much more open to the sun than the Jersey side and can be narrow and in various states of condition and surface material. Still was a beautiful day to be out and would do again. Short time on country road to get back to the Frenchtown bridge. Lots of parking in Frenchtown in the next to the bridge.
