Wallkillのおすすめツーリングルート

View of the valley and mountains

Vents cold air which is really refreshing on a hot day.

Almost like a ruined medieval fortress

This is the part of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail which passes through New Paltz. The whole trail is approximately 22 miles in length and was the former Wallkill Valley Railroad. The railroad was closed in 1977 and the first section of trail opened in 1993. This is a multi-user trail, so please respect other trail users.

The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail totals roughly 22 miles in one direction. The path follows an old railroad line and is primarily packed-gravel surface the entire time. This is a multiuse trail, so be prepared to see other users on the trail. This particular section travels from the northern terminus just outside of Kingston down to Joppenbergh Mountain Park. The Rosendale Trestle Bridge just to the south of Joppenbergh Mountain is one of the more scenic viewpoints along the entire Wallkill Valley Rail Trail.

The Rosendale Trestle Bridge is a famous bridge crossing along the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail between Joppenbergh Mountain Park and Hardenbergh Park. This wooden boards making the base of the bridge are a little weathered, so watch your footing as you cross.

The trails here have been created by the Gardiner Trail Alliance since 2021. There is a great group of volunteers that have been working on adding new trails. There are not many facilities here, but a new dedicated parking area is now open.
