Re: (erielack) Rails to Bike Trails

The Erie from Monroe, NY to Goshen is a nicely paved bike trail. I suggest
parking at Chester station/museum and exploring the route in either
direction from there. The Greycourt area is pretty interesting, with the
former L&HR bridge, the connector coming down to the Erie, complete with old
wooden crossbucks at the Greycourt Ave. crossing, and the active (last time
I was there, anyway) team track next to the old main for inbound fertilizer
and, I think, outbound onions.

Clayton Delaney's on Main St. in Chester is a good place for lunch or
dinner, while you're there.

Have fun!

> Hello all,

Trail's the traveled here in NJ recently. Can anyone e-mail me information
on some other good rides in NY, PA & NJ? If it's intresting list content I
am sure people would not mind replies posted here! Other's just send direct.

Pa. and I highly recomend it! (Two EL G/M/Y caboose's are on display in Jim
Thorpe... whew, list content). And the former PRR Bel-Del from Lambertville
to Frenchtown (PRR operated passenger service along this line to Stroudsburg
Pa.over the DL&W... woohoo list content again!!). I am planning on exploring
the DL&W Sussex Branch which is a known Rail Trail, also I would like to
cover the former Erie Mainline including the Piermont Branch... are they
converted Rail Trails yet? Another possible destination would be the CNJ
Highbridge Branch through the senic Lockwood Gorge (ES-99 / SE-98 routes...
content!) during the day of course because of the Hooke... ok, I won't go
there!
