About the River-to-Ridge Trail
The River-to-Ridge Trail is a new project by the Open Space Institute located at 41 Springtown Road in New Paltz, New York. This trail will connect the Village of New Paltz and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail to the Mohonk Preserve, providing safe and scenic access to the Shawangunk Ridge. The trail will also create a six-mile loop through farm fields and gently rolling hills, connecting to the restored Victorian-era carriage roads of the Shawangunk Ridge.
Through lead support from the Butler Conservation Fund, the River-to-Ridge Trail and carriage road restoration projects aim to deepen the public's connection with the stunning landscapes of the Shawangunk Ridge. Once completed, the trail network will span 116 miles, offering world-class recreational opportunities and connecting the region's main population centers.
The River-to-Ridge Trail will provide a much-needed link for pedestrians and cyclists from New Paltz and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail to reach the Shawangunk Ridge safely and free of charge. The trail will also connect to the Minnewaska State Park Preserve, a spectacular destination that has been doubled in size through OSI's preservation efforts.
In addition to providing recreational access, the River-to-Ridge Trail and carriage road restoration projects will contribute to the conservation of farmland and protection of drinking water in the Delaware Watershed. These initiatives demonstrate OSI's commitment to preserving significant landscapes and promoting sustainable recreational opportunities for the public.

Reviews of River-to-Ridge Trail
"It was the first week of November on a perfect weather day we chose to explore this trail. There was a biking event going on and a couple of horse riders and several families with dogs. The splendid views and meadows with cows grazing made it one of the most memorable hiking trails. We walked 6 miles and it was an enchanting, easy trail. It was medicine for the soul."
"Easy trail for walking or biking and dog friendly great views and scenery awesome in the fall"
"Very scenic wide trail for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, trail running, biking, bird watching and more. The views of Mohonk are gorgeous."
"Fun walk with beautiful views of the surrounding area. Not exactly a "nature walk", but perfect for people who don't want to get down in the dirt."
"10/2020: Beautiful, spacious gravel path meandering through fields and meadows. Keep in mind there’s no shade. Great for walking/running and biking. Mostly flat, with incline in a couple areas. Easy difficulty level for all ages. You eventually come to a gorgeous view of the mountains. So beautiful with the leaves changing! Clean, well maintained. Large, free parking lot. Dogs are welcome but must be on leash. No bathroom facilities on site. You might even see some cows on your walk! We walked, but would definitely love to come back and bike ride. Easy to social distance."
