Written Directions

Enter 7 Lakes Drive from Sloatsburg, NY Rt 17 or from Bear Mountain Parkway Circle at Bear Mountain Bridge.

Scenery

This ride takes 7 Lakes Drive through this NY State park and is about 25 miles from NYC mid-town. The road was resurfaced last year and is smooth and calming ride. Watch out for the bicycle riders. they have a bad habit of riding side by side into the lane causing cars and bikes to move out into the lane to avoid them. this causes a very dangerous situation. The bicycle riders don't seem to care. So, beware. Otherwise this is the best of rides. Trees, mountains, lakes.

Drive Enjoyment

This road is one 15 mile across the park with some curves and a few round a bouts. It has open men's and woman's room at the 7 mile mark.(important to some riders!)

Tourism Opportunities

No restaurants or food stops. But, hey its only 15 miles.

Motorcycle Road Additional info

Take a camera or just enjoy the view. This ride is great on a Sunday morning, early followed up with breakfast at Rhodes Road House in Sloatsburg, NY or in Cold Springs many little breakfast stops.

Beautiful ride. Can get a little packed during weekends. Watch for bicyclists as well. The road can get rough in some patches, but mostly it's a smooth ride. Pro Tip - If coming from the city, take the Henry Hudson/Saw Mill/Taconic to US 6/202 and head west towards Bear Mountain Bridge to combine with the famous "Goat Trail" ride along the cliff slopes of Anthony's Nose. Then continue to the gorgeous Seven Lakes Dr.

If you are looking for a quick scenic ride through one of NY's state parks this is it. Numerous turns, hills, and lakes for viewing.

Harriman is full of good roads. This is one of the main roads and thus has more traffic. It is still enjoyable and one of the few roads open in the winter months as well. Try some of the off-shoot roads like Arden Valley Road if you want something even more fun.
