Ridge Road is one of a few roads within Stewart State Forest. The roads are a mix of pavement, dirt, and gravel and are really popular for hiking, running, and biking. The singletrack trails definitely give you more of a feeling of being in nature, but you can walk at a better clip on the roads.

Whether you are looking for wide and smooth roads or tight singletrack trails, Stewart State Forest probably has it. This section of Drakes Trail is one of the most southern singletrack trails in the trail system. The paths cross over each other and over the service roads in the forest, so you can create an almost endless number of loops.

Stewart State Forest, nestled in Orange County, New York, this expansive forest seamlessly blends wetlands, fields, and forest. With 22 miles of gravel roads and 18 miles of hiking trails, it's a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Engage in hiking, biking, horseback riding, hunting, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, bird watching, and fishing. Encounter a diverse wildlife population, from white-tailed deer and coyotes to bobcats, wild turkeys, great blue herons, and majestic hawks.

In this National Historic Landmark District, there are 7 historic stone-house museums, a reconstructed church from 1717, an old burying ground and a replica Esopus Munsee wigwam. This is a great outdoor museum to explore. Keep an eye out for the blue and yellow signs, which provide information on the different buildings.

The Stewart State Forest has several larger and smaller ponds that are popular for fishing. This is the largest in the pond and has eel, carp, crappie, and pickerel. The pristine waters next to the lush green trees make this a great spot to stop and enjoy the beauty.

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.
