Start spreading the news, we’re cycling today! New York is famous for many things but very few travellers to the state consider venturing past the bright city lights of New York City to slow down and explore its grand landscapes and countryside on foot or by bike.

New York state boasts millions of acres of protected wilderness and more than 2,000 miles of dedicated hiking and biking trails. In fact, Adirondack Park, in upstate New York, is the largest wilderness preserve outside of Alaska at more than 6.2 million acres.

When it comes to cycle touring, the seaside retreat for the rich and famous, the Hamptons, on the far south-eastern end of New York’s Long Island, provide a fantastic backdrop for riders. It boasts the perfect mix of coastal scenery, rural atmosphere, and historic charm, all within a short drive from New York City. On a self-guided cycling tour, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the many museums, quirky antique shops, and placid bays along your route.

Explore New York the active way on a self-guided cycle tour with North America Active.
