Hudson Valley Rail Trail, National Recreation Trail in Highland, New York, US.
The Hudson Valley Rail Trail extends 7.1 miles through hardwood forests and over Black Creek, connecting the towns of New Paltz, Lloyd, and Highland.
The trail follows the former New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad route, featuring two preserved railway cabooses from 1915 and 1926 along its path.
The trail hosts regular community events and features educational signs that detail the local history and natural environment of the Hudson Valley region.

Two large arched bridges support New Paltz Road over the trail corridor, while a rock cut section displays seasonal wildflowers throughout its length.
