Village of Hastings-on-Hudson – South County Trailway
The South County Trailway is one vital segment — spanning from Yonkers to Greenburgh — of the 45 miles of repurposed trailway following the former the line of the “Old Put” Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad that ran from 1881-1958 between the Bronx and Putnam County.
The SCT features 14.1 miles of paved bike and pedestrian path and reminds users to “stay to the right” for safety.
The portion going through Hastings now enjoys its first ever direct link to the thriving village with the recent completion of a multi-million dollar New York State-funded overhaul of the Ravensdale Road Bridge — turning its two spans into one with widened shoulders and sidewalks for walkers and cyclists — and rehabbing an abandoned bridge just north to serve as part of a new 900-foot long access path connecting the trailway from the 9A and Ravendale Road/Jackson Avenue intersection.
The path parallels the Saw Mill River Parkway and Saw Mill River through the shade of trees while passing a trio of sprawling cemeteries.
