Touring cycling in Schenectady County is truly defined by its historic waterways. Expect to pedal along the picturesque Mohawk River and the iconic Erie Canal, often on former railroad beds and canal towpaths. The terrain offers a pleasant mix, from low-lying river valleys to gentle rolling hills, with routes ranging from easy, paved paths to more demanding rides. While the trails are open year-round, the best experiences for cycling are typically from spring through fall, when the weather is most inviting.

If you only do one route, we'd start with the Mohawk-Hudson Bike & Hike Trail – Mohawk River view loop from Mohawk River State Park. This 18.6-mile (30.0 km) route is a local favorite for its extensive river views and natural areas, offering a fantastic introduction to the region. For a slightly longer, moderate challenge with equally stunning vistas, the View of the Mohawk River – Mohawk-Hudson Bike & Hike Trail loop from Verdoy covers 24.3 miles (39.2 km) and follows the historic Erie Canal corridor. With more than 300 touring cyclists having explored these paths and an average rating of 4.5 stars, you know you're in good hands. Start exploring with komoot and discover your next favorite ride!
