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.

At 21.4 km, this is a challenging full-day or multi-stage hike. At an average pace, the route takes roughly 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. The trail is officially waymarked as HVGT, so look out for the trail markers along the way.
