State Parks and Town Parks Allow MTB. Rockland County Parks "technically" do not. There is no one to tell you not to ride the LP, however.

This is a fun loop that begins in Piermont at the old train station as a means of looping back from Central Nyack.
Climb up from the graveyard into Clausland.
Ride down into Tackamack.
Connect to Blauvelt, and ride the loop there, circling back up on the LP.
Ride up to the scenic vistas and. drop down the unmarked "red" trail.
Ride the upper Blauvelt section to connect to Bradley Park an ride back up to the LP
Scenic Vistas down the other Red Trail
Ride Blauvelt back to the tunnels and use the unmarked connector to find your way to Tweed
Left on South Blvd at the 4-way stop
Down Old Mountain Rd and connect to the rail trail to bring you back to Piermont
