What to expect on Small Ashokan Gorge – Midtown Linear Park Trailhead loop from Stockade District

Expect a ride that transitions from the urban charm of Kingston's Stockade District to the expansive natural beauty of the Ashokan Rail Trail. The ART itself offers a smooth, crushed-stone surface with spectacular views of the Ashokan Reservoir and the Catskill Mountains, including a ride across the impressive Glenford Dike. While the rail trail portion is largely flat and easy, connecting back to Kingston and forming a loop involves some on-road sections that can add significant hills and challenge, making this route best for cyclists comfortable with varied terrain and some road riding.

Planning your visit

Your journey begins in Kingston's historic Stockade District, which offers amenities and potential parking. While the Ashokan Rail Trail is easily accessible, be aware that connecting the Midtown Linear Park to the ART currently involves an on-road section due to a trail gap. This means you'll need to navigate some roads to complete the loop. The trail is enjoyable in spring, summer, and fall, with autumn offering particularly vibrant colors along the reservoir. Always check local conditions before heading out.
