These Westchester trails are part of an ambitious rails-to-trails project that will eventually connect Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx to the Putnam County Trailway via a scenic car-free bike path. While nearly 40 miles have already been completed & are ready for riding, there is still on-going construction on the South County Trailway and to ride from the city to the trail requires several miles of on-street riding with traffic. To skip the city miles & minimize on-street riding, you can take Metro North to the trail. The Pleasantville station is only a mile from the North County Trailway.
