Introduction

In Rail-Trails: New Jersey & New York, we highlight nearly 60 of the region’s top rail-trails and other multiuse pathways. These trails offer a broad range of experiences to suit nearly every taste, from vibrant cities to quiet forests, from vacation hot spots like Niagara Falls to hidden gems in small rural towns, and from challenging mountain-biking adventures to relaxing beach boardwalks.

Four exemplary rail-trails in this book have been inducted into RTC’s Hall of Fame, including New York City’s High Line, a celebrated urban park and aerial greenway towering 30 feet over Manhattan’s West Side. North of the Big Apple, a trio of connected Hall of Fame rail-trails—the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, Walkway Over the Hudson, and William R. Steinhaus Dutchess Rail Trail—form a seamless 20-mile paved pathway capturing the beauty of New York’s Hudson Valley.
