While I was working on the Tri-State Gravle Guide, and adding dirt roads for Westchester County focusing on the Dirty Martha route, I came across the Old Croton Aqueduct State Park, which is a 23 mile Greenway, would dovetail nicely with a part of the South County Rail Trail that I have yet to ride. This route starts in Yorktown Heights and goes down to Yorktown via the Aqueduct Trail to Van Cortland Park where you would turn around and pick up the Old Put/South County Trail Way on the return leg. 60 miles is a good trip. Start in Brewester and make it an American Century!
Nice! I figured this one out last Fall cutting across to the OCA in Yonkers. Parked at the SCRT lot just north of the Old Croton Res bridge. I rode it clockwise w/lunch stop in Hastings.
ReplyDeleteThere's a shorter/half loop available too if you take the Tarrytown Lakes spur/Neparan Rd or other combo (I think it's just before you cross the SMRP) - would give a 30 mile loop.
