The Harlem Valley Rail Trail is a scenic 15-mile paved rail trail that meanders through the beautiful countryside of the Dutchess and Columbia Counties. Situated on an abandoned portion of the New York and Harlem Railroad, the path is divided into two sections and is popular with hikers, joggers, bikers and horseback riders. Once an abandoned rail line, it was converted into a public park in 1989 and opened in 1996. The trail begins at the Wassaic Metro North Station and winds its way northwards through the eastern side of Dutchess County and into Columbia County. There are currently 10.7 miles of completed between Wassaic and Millerton and an additional five miles in Ancram. Expansion plans for the trail are expected to increase the length of the trail to over 46 miles.
