Catskill Scenic Trail
This 26-mile rail to trail system is part of an old railroad trail converted into a biking and hiking trail. This multi-use trail is west of most Catskills NY resorts and is shared between runners, bikers, hikers, and horseback riders. It goes from Roxbury to Stamford but offers several pit-stops in local communities on the journey. It’s a relatively flat trail that offers views of streams and wooded areas, as well as farmland and meadows.
Tannersville Bike Path
The Tannersville Bike Path is an excellent family course because it’s a quick 3-miles of moderate to easy terrain with an ideal half-way stop, Tannersville Lake park. The public park is a great place to take a break for the kids to enjoy some playing time and make it back to your room in our Catskills NY resorts.
Windham Path
If the thought of mountain biking makes your head spin faster than your wheels on a downhill trail, you’ll love the serene Windham Path! It’s a pleasant journey in the northern Catskills with its outstanding views. The loop traverses’ footbridges, and meanders near beaver dams and meadows.
