Yorktown Community Trails
Welcome
The “bridge to nowhere” over the Taconic Parkway is now a bridge to somewhere and connects parks to form a network of about 15 miles of trails. Very few town parks have more than four miles of trails; this network will have even more miles as it expands to connect with other parks!
Neighbors have already discovered the advantages of having trails close by. These trails provide low cost recreation which helps develop a healthy life style; they also enhance the value of nearby homes
Through a memorandum of understanding between the Town of Yorktown and the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, volunteers are building, managing, and maintaining this network of marked trails. The project is a cooperative effort of the Trail Conference and the Westchester Mountain Biking Association. See their forum on the right column of their website.

Yorktown Community Trails
Trail Conditions after the October 2011 snow storm
Like Yorktown, the trails in the parks were hit hard with the snow breaking branches and felling whole trees onto the trails.
Mountain biking - for the first time
I have been hiking for over 40 years and love being outdoors and know others enjoy mountain biking just as much as I enjoy hiking.
Flyer for distribution to local residents
The attached flyer is available for you to print and distribute to your friends and neighbors.
