Produktbeschreibung

Explore 50 of the best rail-trails and multiuse pathways with this official guide

All across the country, unused railroad corridors have been converted into public multiuse trails. Here, the experts from Rails-to-Trails Conservancy present the best of these rail-trails-as well as other multiuse pathways-in New Jersey and New York. You'll appreciate the detailed maps for each trail, plus driving directions to trailheads. Quick, at-a-glance icons indicate which activities each trail can accommodate, from biking to fishing to snowmobiling. Best of all, the succinct descriptions are written by rail-trail experts, so you know it's information that you can rely on!

Many rail-trails are paved and connect communities, such as New Jersey's 6.5-mile Pleasantville to Somers Point Bike Path. Some feature dramatic scenery, like the Ken Lockwood Gorge on New Jersey's 11.3-mile Columbia Trail or the ultra-urban, lower Manhattan views from New York's elevated High Line. Whether you're on feet, wheels, or skis, you'll love the variety in this collection of multiuse trails-from beautiful waterways and scenic areas to the hustle and bustle of the states' urban centers!
