Quick Details
NORTH CREEK RAILBIKING
The North Bridge Run takes riders on a 7 mile out-and-back trip through the beautiful Adirondack forest canopy, and then over the Hudson on a spectacular trestle bridge. After checking in at the Station, riders will board a shuttle bus for a short ride further North to the launch point. After the ride is completed, the shuttle will bring folks back to the Station.
Riders will see many species of wildflower and opportunist shrub that are beginning to reclaim the tracks. Just before the halfway point riders will cross the wonderful trestle bridge with views up and down the Hudson River, with the confluence of the Boreas and Hudson Rivers seen to the East. Riders will then have a break on the banks of the Boreas River while the guides spin their bikes around for the trip back.
RAILS TO RIVER
New this year, we will be offering a new railbike and tubing combo trip during the summer months.From June 25 thru August 27, you can add on a tubing trip to the end of your railbike excursion in conjunction with our 12pm North Bridge Run. Once you complete the railbike portion, you will meet our partners from Beaver Brook Outfitters for 1.5-2 hour lazy river trip that will bring you back to our depot.See details below!
HOW DIFFICULT IS IT?
Railbiking is accessible for nearly all ages and ability levels and is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Our ride has a slight uphill grade on the way out and a slight downhill grade on the way back.
