We’ve done the rail bike with Revolution Rail twice and we love the North Creek trail. It’s a fantastic view as you bike parallel to the Hudson River. The nature views are fantastic, the staff is wonderful, and the rail bikes are well maintained. It’s a nice and easy 2 hour fun activity for the entire family.

Revolution Rail is definitely an experience you aren't going to get in many places. The views are mostly trees and train tracks, but there are a few really lovely views over the river. We had a mixed-age group (teenagers to late 60s) and everyone was able to manage the rail bikes with little difficulty. Our tour took a little over 2 hours. Make a reservation if you will be here in the high tourist season.

We went with a group of friends on a beautiful day. There also happened to be a celebration of Theodore Roosevelt and people were dressed in costume playing the characters. We took the southern route for 7 miles. It was a lovely way to spend the day. It was exercise, but not overly challenging. I had to buy a hat as it was sunny… do a hat is a good idea. Definitely worth the trip.

I loved loved this activity, and so did my kids and husband. The staff were so nice, courteous, and knowledgeable. Bus driver Paul was funny, and so were the guides once we got to the site. The scenery was beautiful (spring). The one thing they mentioned online before booking is bug repellent. I tell you, it's a must!! There are a lot of them. It's a peaceful ride, and I recommend it.

Very nice experience. Not a lot of uphill on the trail over the Hudson and it is beautiful. Fall would definitely be perfect with the leaves changing. This was our 3rd trip and we always enjoy it.
