River-to-Ridge Trail

Really nice trails. We parked and walked all over!

It was the first week of November on a perfect weather day we chose to explore this trail. There was a biking event going on and a couple of horse riders and several families with dogs. The splendid views and meadows with cows grazing made it one of the most memorable hiking trails. We walked 6 miles and it was an enchanting, easy trail. It was medicine for the soul.

What a gorgeous place to take a walk….beautiful views, well maintained. So glad we found this gem of New York.

10/2020: Beautiful, spacious gravel path meandering through fields and meadows. Keep in mind there’s no shade. Great for walking/running and biking. Mostly flat, with incline in a couple areas. Easy difficulty level for all ages. You eventually come to a gorgeous view of the mountains. So beautiful with the leaves changing! Clean, well maintained. Large, free parking lot. Dogs are welcome but must be on leash. No bathroom facilities on site. You might even see some cows on your walk! We walked, but would definitely love to come back and bike ride. Easy to social distance.

Easy trail for walking or biking and dog friendly great views and scenery awesome in the fall

Very scenic wide trail for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, trail running, biking, bird watching and more. The views of Mohonk are gorgeous.

Fun walk with beautiful views of the surrounding area. Not exactly a "nature walk", but perfect for people who don't want to get down in the dirt.

This trail opened exactly 3 years ago, September 8, 2018. I am attaching a couple of pictures from that day. The trail is much used and well-maintained and provides a nice link from the town of NewPaltz and the rail trail to the Mohonk foot hills and the Mohonk Preserve. There is a spacious parking area off Springtown Road.
Enjoy!

Nice flat walking trail with views of the Shawangunk Mountains. Good for dog walkers (on leash) & bikes.

Very nice trail. Lots of parking

Really beautiful walk through meadows and wildflowers.. really no shade at all so if you're going to go on a hot day make sure to bring lots of water..

Just beautiful! Cant wait to go back and share more memories with my family

It was great as it is always good to get away from the city. 👍🏾👍🏾

This trail is great for walking, hiking and biking. Very well maintained. Many parking locations along the trail. I bike the trail often it is packed gravel no big climbs or decents.

Really nice and quiet gravel trail for walking and biking. Easy to socially distance. The only issue is that most of the trail is not in the shade. Free parking lot off Springtown Road.

Huge public park across the street from the Ulster County fairgrounds and pool. Multiple trails perfect to let your dog run free as long as he comes back haha. Also has different courts and fields for multiple sports.

Great trail (carriage road) that brings you from the Wallkill River to the Shawangunk Ridge. The trail connects to Lenape Lane which is part of the Mohonk Preserve. Be sure to have your Mohonk pass on you if going on to the property because they will check for your pass. Annual passes can be purchased on their website or a day pass can be purchased at the Mohonk gate house. Beautiful views and relaxing scenery to go for a walk, run, or bike. I absolutely love this area. Highly recommend.

Great place for a family walk or a couples activity or even a quick jog. Beautiful scenic views with well manicured trails makes it easily accessible for everyone.

Great little trail with a spectacular view. If you're looking for a quick bike ride with a few hills added in but nothing overbearing, this is great.

Peaceful place, nice trail to walk around.
