Eden on Earth—Exploring the PERFECT Trail

In this adventure, I embark on the glorious Harlem Valley Rail Trail, the most scenic trail I have ever had the pleasure to ride in upstate New York on my electric unicycle (Veteran Sherman). I pass by industrial regions, wetlands, farms, mountains, and lakes. Since the mid-1980’s, the Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association has dreamed of a 46-mile rail trail in the Harlem Valley and Taconic Hills of eastern New York. The first segment of the trail opened in 1996 as a paved rail trail on an abandoned portion of the New York and Harlem Railroad. It is owned by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

The former New York and Harlem main line was acquired by the New York Central Railroad in 1864, and became part of the Penn Central Railroad in 1968. After a severe PC bankruptcy in 1970, the line was abandoned for passenger service between Dover Plains and Chatham in 1972, though freight service continued over the line until 1976, when it was abandoned between Millerton and Ghent. The rest of the line was abandoned in 1980, but Metro-North restored service between Dover Plains and Wassaic in 2000. The abandoned rail line was converted into a public park in 1989. The rail trail opened in 1996, and was expanded in 1997, 2000, 2005 and 2020. It has been expanded northward as a 24.5 mile trail to Taconic State Park with plans for an extension to Chatham, which would make the total length of the rail trail approximately 46 miles (74 km).
