The Maybrook Trailway will be a shared-use bicycling and pedestrian path that will run along a 23-mile portion of the Metro-North Railroad (MNR) Beacon Line Corridor from Brewster, NY to Hopewell Junction, NY. This portion of the Maybrook Trailway, formerly referred to as the Beacon Line, does not currently have active train traffic. The project, now in construction, will build a “rail with trail” on the Brewster to Hopewell Junction segment. The trail is set to be completed in 2020.
The Maybrook Trailway is an important part of the Empire State Trail, connecting the Putnam Trailway to the Dutchess Rail Trail and Walkway Over the Hudson State Park. The Empire State Trail, when completed in 2020, will create a 750-mile trail bike and walking pathway stretching from New York City to Canada and from Albany to Buffalo.
WARNING:
The entire rail-trail corridor is an active construction site and does not officially open to the public until 2021. While large portions of the 23 mile rail-trail corridor have been graded and paved, many hazards exist. For your safety and the safety of the crews performing and inspecting the construction work, please do not access the trail under any circumstance until all construction equipment, materials, temporary signage and barricades have been removed.
Effective immediately, MTA Police will issue a citation in place of a warning to anyone found trespassing or operating motorized vehicles within the trail corridor.
Next stop, Willoughby
