Hudson Valley Greenway Trail (Pawling to Hopewell Junction)

Follows the Maybrook Trailway north and west from there, passing by dense woods, farm fields, ponds and wetlands. This 15-mile section features long stretches of trail, with relatively few access points or crossroads.

Covering 23.9 km, this demanding trail is best tackled by experienced walkers in good condition. Budget roughly 5 hours and 19 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. Look for the HVGT trail markings to stay on the official route.
