Hudson Valley Greenway Trail (New Paltz to South Kingston)

The route follows the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail (with a stone-dust surface). The trail winds through mature woods, past historic iron works and over the historic Rosendale railroad trestle.

Covering 21.4 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 4 hours and 45 minutes or consider splitting it across two days.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Follow the HVGT waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.
