Bike Rental in New Paltz, NY
The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is flat and tree lined with shade. It is the perfect trail for families or folks who don’t want a strenuous ride. There are some amazing bridges with stunning views along the way.
The River to Ridge Trail has breathtaking views of the Shawangunk Ridge. This trail does require some uphill pedaling and it is in full sun…but its worth it! The views or the ridge don’t get any better.
Full day rentals are now available, so you can bring your bike to the Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park or the Walkway over the Hudson. If you plan on bringing our bikes to another location, a full day rental is required.
Wherever your biking destination is, you can get there with New Paltz Biking.
Parking and Trail Access
Ride through the two loops and continue on to the Mohonk Preserve at Shawangunk Ridge, or circle around and head back to the parking lot. Whatever ride you choose, you’re in for a breathtaking adventure.

If you are going to ride your bike during the time of day that the sun is in your eyes or it is really bright out, make sure you have a good pair of UV blocking sunglasses. There are sunglasses specially designed to stay on your face while you ride.
Make sure you have plenty of water. If you are planning to be out for more than an hour, take something with electrolytes in it and a snack to prevent dehydration and hunger.
