One of the most notable highlights in the area. Amazing views makes it ideal for a rest stop.

Sunsets are amazing here. Just north of the bridge, you can park your car if you do not want to ride at night.

This is a beautiful section of the North County Trailway, where you get to ride surrounded by trees and along the small Echo Lake.

Tarrytown Lakes

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Beautiful lake with clear water and a bizarre building on a tiny island in the middle of the lake. At the eastern end there is a kayak rental and a small boat trip loosens up the bike tour wonderfully.

Downtown Piermont

Highlight • Settlement

Charming little town. Haven't dined there yet, but looks like there are some awesome places for a mid-ride snack.

Joseph Clark Rail Trail South of Sparkill

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

As of June 2024, this stretch of rail trail is rather smooth with the exception of some cracking and bumps here and there. Felt fine on 25mm road tires — the whole rail trail is very rideable.
