Trails open in Port Jervis park

PORT JERVIS, NY — About seven miles of trails have been opened to mountain bikers in previously closed-off acreage in Elks-Brox Memorial Park in Port Jervis near the watershed and reservoir, making the area a haven for mountain bikers this summer. For those who prefer to stay on the roads, there are several tours on the calendar over the next few months.

“Orange County is a destination for every level of bicyclist,” said Orange County Tourism Director Susan Hawvermale. “From flat trails to wooded mountain paths, take in the spectacular Hudson Valley scenery no matter where your wheels take you.”

Upcoming road cycling and mountain biking events in Orange County include the Answer to Cancer Bike Ride, Saturday, June 25, which allows you to select from 25-, 50- and 100-mile routes. It begins in the Village of Highland Falls, winds through the historic grounds of the United States Military Academy at West Point and features breathtaking vistas from Storm King Highway.
