Description

The adventure begins at the North Creek Railroad Station, where participants are shuttled to the starting point of their railbiking journey. The tour offers several options, including the North Bridge Run and the South River Run. The North Bridge Run is a 7-mile round trip that takes you over a stunning trestle bridge across the Hudson River, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness. Alternatively, the South River Run covers a slightly longer 7.5-mile route that hugs the riverbank, offering opportunities to spot local wildlife and enjoy the area’s natural beauty. For a more extended experience, the "Rails to River" combines railbiking with a relaxing tubing trip down the river, perfect for cooling off in the summer months.

Be sure to book online- they will sell out! Everyone was super nice, including the guides on the rail. Once your tour starts, you will get bussed to the start location, about 10 minutes down the road. From there, you will meet your guides, and they will go over a few things before you head off. There will be guides in the very front and at the very back so if anything happens, someone will be available. It's 3 miles down, then you will take about a 20 minute break while they turn the bikes around, and then you will bike back, where the bus will pick you up again and take you back to the station. Total trip, plan for about 2.5 hours (no including the 15 minutes early you need to be there before the start of the tour). They do have baskets in the back of the bikes to place things and they also have umbrellas you can use- this is a rain or shine activity to plan accordingly!!

Purchase tickets online enjoyed a military discount 10% the ride was at first intense and then a short break return ride was very pleasurable would do it again. Only difference is we would take one of the other trips not the same 1.

What a beautiful experience to be apart of……an autumn tapestry by rail…. To be able to pierce into the center of the forest and be able to ride parallel to the Hudson was an experience that everyone should have..: as others have mentioned, the staff were so nice and pleasant. We did the pumpkin patch tour, which was fun and a nice souvenir to take back with us (included in the price)… the drive up was absolutely beautiful, just a little ways pass Lake George…. If looking for peace and quiet you got it, if looking for a romantic date, you got that too… Great for all ages…and a great work out Will definitely refer others to enjoy ….and we will definitely come back to experience one of the many other tours.

Amazing time! 3.5 miles 1 way then a small break and 3.5 miles back. Perfect day for it. No bugs, sunshine and perfect views. A+++ recommendation

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.
