Description
If you're looking for a touring cycling route that offers a real mix of Long Island scenery, the Bike loop from Port Jefferson delivers. This moderate 23.3-mile (37.5 km) route packs in 377 feet (115 metres) of climbing over roughly 2 hours and 8 minutes, making it a great option for cyclists who appreciate varied terrain and don't mind some hills.
What to expect on Bike loop from Port Jefferson
This route is a tale of two trails, offering a dynamic journey through Long Island's North Shore. You'll start with the Setauket-Port Jefferson Station Greenway, a 3.4-mile paved section known for its winding path and numerous hills, which can be a good workout. After that, the route transitions to the North Shore Rail Trail, a largely flat and easy 10.6-mile paved path built on a former railroad line, offering a smoother ride through woodlands and meadows. Expect a mix of shaded paths, glimpses of Port Jefferson Harbor, and even some farmland, making it ideal for cyclists who enjoy diverse landscapes and are prepared for some elevation changes.
Planning your visit
The trails are entirely paved, providing a smooth surface for your ride. The Setauket Greenway features enhanced safety crossings with flashing lights, which is a welcome feature for navigating intersections. While the North Shore Rail Trail is well-maintained, be aware that it does not have lights, benches, or restrooms along its length. You'll find connections to local towns for dining and refreshments, making it easy to refuel along the way.
