We cut the ribbon Friday August 2 in Copake Falls to celebrate the repaving of 3.6 miles of the trail, one of its oldest sections! On hand were state and local officials, representatives of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the executive director of Parks & Trails New York, Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association board members and Assemblymember Didi Barrett, a longtime supporter of the trail.
The Harlem Valley Rail Trail extends north from the hamlet of Wassaic, N.Y., to Copake and is growing year by year.
Since the mid-1980s, the Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association has dreamed of a 46-mile rail trail in the Harlem Valley and Taconic Hills of eastern New York. The first segment of the trail opened in 1996.
