raymond esposito rail trail

I find this rail trail on May 20th, after browsing the annual antiques and crafts street fair in Nyack, New York State. I've heard about a bike trail in the area. While driving into Nyack on Route 9, I see a trail follow the roadside. It starts from a basketball court/playground. I am pleasantly suprised to see that this is actually several trails connected, extending through the hillside of Piermont for about 8 miles. The trail passes behind million-dollar homes. One problem is 1/3 of the path is rocky. But eventually it turns into fine dirt, and then paved road. The view overlooking the Hudson River makes this a pleasure to ride.
