The South County Trailway loop from White Plains offers a delightful touring cycling experience, winding through a surprisingly green corridor that often feels far removed from city life. You'll pedal along a mostly paved, tree-lined path, enjoying the gentle grades of a former rail-trail and frequently riding beside the Saw Mill River. The route passes by scenic spots like Woodlands Lake and offers glimpses of north Yonkers from its highest points, making for a varied and engaging ride.
Planning your trip is easy, with multiple access points from White Plains and parking available at spots like Tibbetts Brook Park. Public transportation options, including the NYC subway and Bee-Line bus service, also connect to the trail. Keep in mind that the trail is not lit at night and isn't maintained for winter use, so plan your visit for daylight hours and warmer seasons.
This 30.6-mile (49.2 km) moderate route, with 770 feet (235 metres) of elevation gain and an estimated duration of 2 hours and 57 minutes, is a key segment of the larger Empire State Trail. Its origin as the "Old Put" railroad line gives it a unique historical character and ensures a smooth, mostly flat journey, connecting you to an extensive network of car-free paths stretching from the Bronx to Putnam County.
