New York bike trails map 2026 cover: WHERE eBIKES CAN RIDE, TRAIL BY TRAIL over the Walkway Over the Hudson's steel towers and truss above the Hudson River at golden hour, with a stat of 2,127 miles open to Class 1

The Walkway Over the Hudson between Poughkeepsie and Highland, a State Historic Park whose paved deck takes Class 1 and 2 e-bikes at up to 15 mph, in a scene generated with Playcut from photographs of the bridge.

New York starts from no. Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1242(4)(a) says "No person shall operate a bicycle with electric assist on any public lands or property, other than a highway", and the only way onto a park, a state forest or a rail trail is land "designated and posted for travel by bicycles with electric assist".

The agency, city, town or village that owns the trail makes that designation, so this page goes trail by trail: it names the manager of every mapped trail and quotes the rule that opens or closes it.

For the rest of the state's e-bike law, from ages and helmets to the roads you may ride, read New York's e-bike laws. For trails in other states, start with our guide to e-bike trails near you. To find an e-bike shop in your part of New York, see our New York e-bike shop directory.

A pedal-assist Class 1 opens the most of New York. On one you may ride 2,127 of the mapped miles, 759 more than a Class 2 with a throttle, and 83% of that difference is State Parks' trails: natural surfaces, where the parks admit Class 1 and turn Class 2 away, and trails whose surface the parks' layer leaves blank (each trail, its manager and its rule are in the downloadable register).

Every bike in our full e-bike range ships free to New York.

How to read the map

Several of New York's trail rules changed this year, and the change you meet depends on whose land you ride. State Parks issued a new e-bike directive effective June 4, 2026, Suffolk County closed its own land to e-bikes in a law amended March 10, 2026, and New York City's park pilot runs only through December 31, 2026.

Ride the wrong class onto a closed trail and the penalty comes from the land manager's rules, so find your trail's color here, then match it to the class on your bike's label.

Green means you may ride a Class 1, 2 or 3, which happens only in New York City. Blue means Class 1 and 2, amber Class 1 only, and dashed red a trail its manager has closed by a published rule. Dotted purple is public land nobody has designated, which state law keeps closed; gray means the rule is unsettled, the land is private, or the manager or the local rule could not be determined.

New York's definition of an e-bike is a bicycle "no more than thirty-six inches wide" with "an electric motor of less than seven hundred fifty watts" and operable pedals, in one of three classes:

Class How the motor helps Help stops at Where New York allows it
Class 1 Only while you pedal 20 mph Statewide
Class 2 Can move the bike without pedaling (throttle) 20 mph Statewide
Class 3 Can move the bike without pedaling (throttle) 25 mph Only in a city of 1,000,000 or more

The third class is New York's own: § 102-c defines it "Solely within a city having a population of one million or more", and § 1242(10) prohibits its use anywhere else. A bike that assists to 28 mph, sold as Class 3 in other states, meets none of New York's three definitions, so check what your label says before you ride.

Since June 1, 2022, § 1242(11) has required every e-bike sold or leased in New York to carry a manufacturer's label showing its class, its "maximum motor-assisted speed" and its motor wattage, and you may not ride a public highway or street without one. The same section caps Class 1 and 2 at 20 mph and Class 3 at 25, and bars riders under 16.

If your motor is 750 watts or more, or your bike has no working pedals, it is not a bicycle with electric assist under § 102-c, and no color on this map opens a trail to it.

Who decides on each trail

The government that owns the trail decides, and until it decides, the trail is closed to your e-bike. § 1242(4)(b) gives the power to two kinds of owner: "A state agency, by regulation or order, and a city, town or village, by local law or ordinance, may designate any appropriate public lands and properties under its jurisdiction". The designation can come with "restrictions and conditions ... such as travel on designated trails and hours of operation".

Under the same sentence of § 1242(4)(b), an owner may designate land "upon written request for such designation by any person", so if a purple trail is one you ride, you can put that request to its owner in writing.

The agencies that run New York's trails read the law the same way:

  • State Parks' e-bike directive says "Section 1242 of the VTL requires OPRHP to affirmatively authorize the operation of bicycles with electric assist on the public lands under its jurisdiction".
  • The Hudson River Valley Greenway's trail policy says e-bikes "are allowed on public trails if affirmatively authorized by the public entity that owns and operates a specific trail".
  • The Empire State Trail's safety page says that "on off-road trails E-Bikes are allowed only when approved by the state or local government entity that owns the trail".
  • A transportation study for Broome County's trails reached the same place in 2022: the state law "appears to effectively ban both from multi-use trails", so "Local legislation by the appropriate municipality or agency is therefore necessary" (Binghamton Metropolitan Transportation Study).

One state page reads it differently. The Empire State Trail's FAQ says of the county and town sections that "most have not adopted formal policies, meaning E-Bikes are neither explicitly allowed nor prohibited on those trail sections." We print both: the statute's words and the agencies' own readings keep undesignated public land closed, and that is how this map colors it.

Counties are the other open question. § 1242(4)(b) names state agencies, cities, towns and villages, and no county.

Several counties publish their own rules for their trails, and the wording of the Greenway's e-bike policy ("the public entity that owns and operates a specific trail") and of the Empire State Trail's safety page ("the state or local government entity that owns the trail") treats the owner as the one who decides, so this map colors each county trail by the county's published rule and marks the county trails nobody has opened as closed.

NYS Parks: Class 1 and 2 on paved trails, Class 1 on natural surfaces

State Parks runs 1,056 of the mapped miles under one directive, OPR-POL-032, and the surface under your tires decides your class. On paved and improved trails, "Class 1 and 2 electric bicycles may be operated on (i) boardwalks and (ii) shared use or multi-use trails and paths that are paved or improved with materials including but not limited to crushed stone or asphalt, including carriage roads".

On natural surfaces, "Class 1 electric bicycles may be operated on unimproved, natural surface trails that currently allow for the use of non-electric bicycles", while "Class 2 electric bicycles are prohibited on all unimproved and/or natural surface trails" (OPR-POL-032, effective June 4, 2026).

"The maximum speed limit for electric and non-electric bicycles is 15 mph on boardwalks and paved and improved trails and paths", and "Class 3 electric bicycles are strictly prohibited at all OPRHP facilities including parkways" (OPR-POL-032). A natural-surface trail opens to your Class 1 only if it already takes ordinary bicycles, so a hiking-only path in a state park stays closed whatever your class.

On this map that gives Class 1 and 2 287 miles of paved and improved state park trail, and Class 1 alone 630 miles of natural-surface trail and trail whose surface the parks' layer leaves blank (41 of them).

Two parks post their own rule. Minnewaska State Park Preserve allows "Biking ... only on designated carriage roads", with a 15 mph limit, and "Class 1 eBikes are only type of eBike allowed" (38.6 mapped miles). Shirley Chisholm State Park in Brooklyn says "No E-bikes or scooters" (12.8 miles).

DEC: open on public roads, closed on trails

The Department of Environmental Conservation manages 2,733 of the mapped miles, more than any other owner, and its biking page draws one line through all of it: "E-bikes are allowed on public roads managed by DEC unless the road is posted against such use. Off-road use (including trails, roads, or terrain other than a public road or parking area) of E-bikes is prohibited."

That closes 2,131 miles of trail in the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserve, the state forests and DEC's other lands, 89% of every mile on this map closed by a published rule. DEC's public roads stay open to Class 1 and 2 (461 mapped miles), and on a Wildlife Management Area, DEC's biking page says, the off-road ban holds "unless specifically allowed by posted notice or with written permission from the Regional Manager" (107 miles).

The exception is the Adirondack Rail Trail, which runs from Lake Placid through Lake Clear to Tupper Lake, where "Motorized vehicles, aside from snowmobiles and class one E-bikes, are prohibited on the entire corridor in all seasons." You may ride it on a Class 1 but not on a throttle bike (34.3 mapped miles).

The Canal Corporation: Class 1 and 2 on the canalways, 15 mph

The Canal Corporation opens its trails to "Class 1 & 2 E-bikes not capable of pedal-assist beyond 20 mph" and posts "Hours: Dawn to Dusk" and "Speed Limit: 15 mph". Its rule list adds "No Class 3 E-bikes". That covers 283 mapped miles of the Erie, Champlain and other canalway trails, the longest open corridor on this map.

New York City: the only place Class 3 may ride

Class 3 is legal in New York City alone, and the city's parks opened their drives and greenways to e-bikes under a pilot: "NYC Parks is piloting a new rule to allow electric bikes (e-bikes) and electric scooters (e-scooters) to use park drives and greenways. The pilot program is in effect from June 20, 2023 through December 31, 2026" (NYC Parks).

The same NYC Parks page adds that "No other motorized vehicles or devices are allowed to be operated in New York City Parks", so footpaths stay closed.

NYC DOT's rules chart answers "Yes" for Class 1, 2 and 3 on park drives and greenways under that pilot. Since the city's speed rule took effect on October 24, 2025, "No person shall operate a bicycle with electric assist ... at a speed greater than fifteen miles per hour except where official signs indicate a different maximum speed limit" (34 RCNY § 4-06(b)(1)).

On this map the pilot covers 175 miles of park drive and greenway and 12.3 miles of DOT greenway, all of it subject to the pilot's end date.

The Hudson River Greenway along Manhattan's west side is the exception you are most likely to ride. The Hudson River Park Trust says "No e-bikes, e-scooters or motorized vehicles of any kind are permitted on the Park's esplanades or piers, or on the bike path adjacent to the Park".

The Trust's own rules say the bikeway is "owned by the New York State Department of Transportation" (Hudson River Park Rules § 751.03(a)(1)), and the City's chart opens greenways. We found no state designation for it, so this map shows those 4.5 miles as unsettled.

Two smaller islands of rules sit in the harbor. Governors Island bars motorized bicycles "with the exception pedal-assist e-bicycles", which we read as Class 1 only. Brooklyn Bridge Park allows cycling "only on the designated bicycle path, known as the Greenway" and says "Motorized bicycles ... are not allowed", without naming e-bikes, so it shows as unsettled.

The Greenway's trail, the state's paths and the Cuomo Bridge

The Hudson River Valley Greenway's e-bike policy for the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail "authorizes the public to ride Class 1 and Class 2 Electric Bicycles ... on the off-road sections of the AHET Trail", which runs through Rensselaer and Columbia counties (27.2 mapped miles).

The state Department of Transportation's shared-use paths carry no designation we could find, so 25 of their mapped miles show as closed by state law (the Route 9A bikeway above is unsettled, and Suffolk County's law closes the paths in Suffolk), and the Thruway's Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge path brochure lists "DRIVE MOTORIZED VEHICLES" among its don'ts without naming e-bikes, so it shows the same way.

Federal land: park by park

Each federal unit sets its own rule. Gateway National Recreation Area allows "Class 1 and Class 2 E-bikes ... on routes open to traditional bicycles throughout Gateway".

At Fire Island National Seashore, "Bicycles are not permitted ... on boardwalks or other pedestrian walks at National Park Service properties".

In the Finger Lakes National Forest, "E-Bikes ... are not allowed on non-motorized FS trails, but are allowed on motorized trails and roads", and Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge allows e-bikes on the Feeder Road Trail only.

Bottom line On a Class 1 you can ride State Parks' bike-legal trails on any surface, the canalways, the Adirondack Rail Trail and DEC's public roads. On a Class 2 you lose State Parks' natural-surface trails, Minnewaska and the Adirondack Rail Trail. Class 3 rides only New York City's park drives and greenways, under a pilot that runs through December 31, 2026, and DEC's trails are closed to every class.

What a wrong turn costs you depends on whose land you were on. Ignoring a State Parks sign "could result in a disorderly conduct violation" under the parks' own regulation, 9 NYCRR 375.1(f), the directive warns (OPR-POL-032).

On Suffolk County land, a violation of § 319-52 is punishable by a fine of up to $500, a second conviction within five years becomes an unclassified misdemeanor with a fine of at least $1,500 and the bike impounded, and a third can bring a fine of up to $5,000, up to a year in jail, or both (Suffolk County Code § 319-53).

Under state law itself, breaking the age, sidewalk, yield, speed or Class 3 rule carries a civil fine of up to $50 (§ 1242(12)).

County and city rules

Most local trails in New York sit on land no county, city, town or village has opened, so they are closed to e-bikes until the owner designates them. Counties publish the most consequential local rules, because they own the long rail trails: Westchester closes its trailways, Suffolk closes all county land, and Dutchess, Ulster, Broome and Orange open theirs to some classes.

Westchester County

The county's trailways page says "No motorized vehicles/e-bikes" on the North County Trailway, the South County Trailway and the Bronx River Pathway, and the Briarcliff-Peekskill Trailway is "for walkers and joggers. No bicycles allowed." Those two rules close 48 mapped miles of trailway to e-bikes and 9 more to every bicycle.

The county's other park trails, 68 mapped miles, carry no designation, so state law keeps them closed. The park code points the same way: it keeps any "vehicle" off "any path or trail maintained for persons" except baby carriages, wheelchairs and department vehicles, and counts as a motor vehicle "All vehicles propelled by power other than muscular power" (Laws of Westchester County § 765.01(22) and § 765.311).

Suffolk County

Since L.L. 6-2026, "No person shall operate an electric scooter or bicycle with electric assist on any off-highway property owned by the County of Suffolk", with one carve-out for Fire Island's "pedestrian walks", added by L.L. 14-2026 on March 10, 2026 (Suffolk County Code § 319-52(A)).

On Fire Island the motor must be off on those walks from May 15 through the Monday of Columbus Day weekend, and at any time of year you must be 15 or older, ride alone and keep to 8 mph.

A second county law reaches further. § 822-11(A) says "No person shall operate a prohibited vehicle off a public highway on public property in the County of Suffolk", and the chapter counts "Any electric bicycle" as a prohibited vehicle.

On town, village and state DOT land that agrees with the state default, but on the state parks in Suffolk County it runs against State Parks' own directive, so those 88 mapped miles show as unsettled. The Town of East Hampton and the Village of Babylon opened some of their own land to e-bikes in 2025, before the county law; both texts are printed in the table below and those trails show as unsettled too.

Dutchess, Ulster, Broome and Orange counties

Dutchess says "Only Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are permitted on the rail trail system" (FAQ). Ulster says of the Ashokan Rail Trail, "At this time, e-bikes are allowed on the trail" (Ashokan Rail Trail), which this map reads as Class 1 and 2, since Class 3 cannot ride outside New York City.

Broome allows "Class 1 & 2 E-bikes" on Otsiningo Park's trails (Broome County Parks), and Orange keeps the Heritage Trail to "Class 1 'pedal assist' E-Bikes", calling Class 2 and 3 motorized vehicles (Heritage Trail).

Nassau County

The county's Title 61, the Mark Sattler Law, says "No person shall operate a motorized scooter or pocket bike upon any property of the County", and it defines a motorized scooter as any handlebar device "powered by an electric motor or by a gasoline motor that is capable of propelling the device without human power" that cannot be registered (Nassau County Miscellaneous Laws, Title 61, §§ 3, 4(b)(1)).

We read a throttle e-bike as one of those, and your pedal-assist Class 1 stays off county land under the state default, so the county's 9.9 mapped miles show as closed.

A bill announced by the legislature's minority would "legalize most e-bikes and electric scooters already permitted under New York State law"; the county's notice is posted April 27, 2026 under a March 27, 2026 dateline (Nassau County Legislature), and no vote on it had been recorded when this page was checked.

Counties that have not decided

Warren County drafted a six-month pilot to open the Warren County Bikeway to Class 1 and 2, and the board's May 5, 2022 index records "RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN" (Res. No. 189 of 2022). The Oswego County Recreation Trail bars "motorized vehicles other than authorized emergency and county highway department vehicles, snowmobiles and groomers" without naming e-bikes (Town of Volney). Both show as closed by state law.

Cities, towns and villages

Of the cities, towns and villages on the map, 18 have a rule that reaches a mapped trail. If you are 16 or older, Rochester lets you use the "Genesee Riverway Trail or any multi-use trail" outside the Center City District (City Code § 34-2(C)), and Queensbury (Town Code § 50-3), New Rochelle (City Code § 314-6) and New Paltz (Town Local Law 1 of 2022) open every place an ordinary bicycle may go.

Orangetown names three paths, the Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail (the town code spells it Clark), the Raymond G. Esposito Trail and the Route 303 Bike By-Pass, and keeps e-bikes to roads and parking lots in its other parks.

Brookhaven and Smithtown close town land, Irvington its parks, and Farmington all of its land except the Auburn Trail Extension, which stays open to you on a Class 1. Colonie bars Class 2 and 3 from its bicycle paths without opening them to Class 1, and Pittsford makes every rider, e-bike or not, dismount on the Erie Canal towpath between its Main Street and State Street bridges.

Some local laws open nothing until a sign does. Cicero (Town Local Law 2 of 2026), Canisteo (Village Local Law 1 of 2026) and Hornell (City Local Law 2 of 2026) let e-bikes into parks and onto designated paths "only where authorized by posted signage", and Yonkers keeps them off any multi-use path "unless it has been officially posted for such use" (City Code § 109-71(C)(6)).

Croton-on-Hudson and the Village of Ossining let their boards open village land to e-bikes and list the trails where riding is restricted, and the hours, in a schedule the code does not print: "Said schedule is on file in the Village offices" (Croton-on-Hudson Village Code § 80-6; Ossining Village Code § 83-6). Those villages' trails show as could not be determined.

Solvay (Village Local Law 12 of 2025) and Geddes (Town Code § 220-26) close their paths at night, from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and bar riders under 16 at any time; a curfew does not open the paths the rest of the day.

In 5 places, a law in the pipeline was not yet in force on October 10, 2026. Read each one's status before you ride there:

Government Where it stands
Town of Lancaster A proposed local law regulating bicycles, scooters and e-bikes had its public hearing on September 21, 2026; the board reserved its decision, and nothing was filed by October 10, 2026.
Town of Mount Pleasant L.L. 7 of 2026, approved September 22, 2026, keeps e-bikes in town parks to roadways and parking lots meant for cars. It takes effect when filed with the Secretary of State and was not in the state's index on October 10, 2026.
Town of Salina L.L. 12 of 2026, adopted in September 2026, closes town paths to e-bikes from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and bars riders under 16. It takes effect when filed with the Secretary of State and was not in the state's index on October 10, 2026.
Village of Brockport Proposed L.L. 5 of 2026 (E-bikes) was set for a public hearing on the board's July 20, 2026 agenda; it was not filed by October 10, 2026.
Village of Carthage The board is drafting an e-bike law (minutes of July 20, August 17 and September 21, 2026) and tabled it to October.

Bottom line Outside the counties and towns in the tables above, a local trail with no posted e-bike rule is closed to your e-bike under state law. Where a county allows e-bikes, it allows Class 1 and 2 at most, and Westchester's trailways and Suffolk County's own land are closed, apart from Fire Island's pedestrian walks.

Named trails riders ask about

The trails New Yorkers search for by name mostly cross one manager's land, so one rule covers most of each, but several change partway. The table gives each trail's mapped miles, who manages them and what your e-bike may do on each stretch.

Erie Canalway Trail 259.9 Canal Corporation; NYS Parks; Village of Clyde Class 1 and 2, 15 mph, dawn to dusk on 255.8 mi; Closed: not designated on 1.6 mi; Class 1 and 2, 15 mph on 1.6 mi; Manager not recorded on 0.7 mi; Closed on 0.3 mi

  • The Erie Canalway Trail is the open spine of upstate: the Canal Corporation's Class 1 and 2 rule covers almost all of it, with a 15 mph limit and dawn-to-dusk hours. In the Village of Pittsford you dismount for the stretch of towpath between the Main Street and State Street bridges, which the village closes to every bicycle.
  • The Walkway Over the Hudson is a State Historic Park, so State Parks' directive applies: Class 1 and 2 on the paved deck and the park's own paths, 15 mph, no Class 3.
  • The Hudson Valley Rail Trail across the river in Lloyd, toward New Paltz, carries no e-bike designation in the town's code and shows as closed by state law, apart from the short stretch inside the Walkway's park. Do not confuse it with the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, a State Parks trail in Dutchess and Columbia counties that is open to Class 1 and 2.
  • The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail between New Paltz and Kingston is the Wallkill Valley Land Trust's, and it is pedal-assist only: "Class 1 Pedal Assist e-bikes ONLY permitted. The WVRT prohibits all other e-bikes and motorized vehicles" (Wallkill Valley Land Trust). The Empire State Trail's FAQ says the same of the section from New Paltz to Kingston. The Shawangunk stretch to the south is town land whose code is not online.
  • The Old Croton Aqueduct State Trailway is a State Parks trail with a natural surface, so you may ride it on a Class 1 where bicycles may go, and not on a Class 2.
  • The Genesee Valley Greenway mixes improved and natural stretches, so its rule changes with the surface under you.
  • Central Park and Prospect Park are open to you on any class on the park drives under NYC Parks' pilot, through December 31, 2026; their footpaths are not, and NYC DOT says "The speed limit for e-bike, e-scooter, and pedal assist bicycle riders in New York City is 15MPH" (NYC DOT).
  • The Hudson River Greenway in Manhattan is the trail to read twice: the Park Trust bars e-bikes from "the bike path adjacent to the Park" (its advisories), and the City's e-bike rules chart opens greenways.
  • The Catskill Scenic Trail belongs to a private owner whose FAQ says "Except for snow mobiles, there are no motorized vehicles permitted on the trail" without naming e-bikes (Catskill Scenic Trail); we show it as unsettled.
  • The O&W Rail Trail crosses 13 managers' land, from a DEC wildlife area to town land and private parcels, so check the stretch you plan to ride in the register.

Bottom line You may ride a Class 1 or 2 on the Erie Canalway, most of the Champlain Canalway, the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail, the State Parks miles of the Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike Trail, the Walkway, the Ashokan Rail Trail and the State Parks rail trails in Dutchess and Columbia counties.

On the Adirondack Rail Trail, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail from New Paltz to Kingston, the Heritage Trail and Minnewaska's carriage roads you may ride a Class 1 only, and Westchester's North and South County Trailways take no e-bike at all.

Riding the Empire State Trail on an e-bike

Most of the Empire State Trail's off-road miles are open to Class 1 and 2, its Westchester and Putnam miles are not, and 37% of the trail runs on roads. New York's segment layer measures 763 miles in 256 segments: 479 off-road and 284 on roads (NYS Parks' Empire State Trail segment layer).

Matching each off-road segment to the trail under it, you may ride 399 of the off-road miles on a Class 1 (83%), almost all of it on the canal and the State Parks and county rail trails that open Class 1 and 2.

Section Off-road miles Open to Class 1 Closed Unsettled or not mapped On roads
Hudson Valley 152 79 67 7 51
Champlain Valley 28 26 2 0 166
Erie Canal 298 294 3 2 65

The gaps are in the Hudson Valley section. Westchester's North County and South County Trailways close 35 miles to e-bikes; Putnam County's Putnam Trailway, the Maybrook Trailway from Brewster to Pawling (9 miles) and the Hudson Valley Rail Trail from Lloyd to New Paltz (7 miles) carry no designation we found; and the Hudson River Greenway in Manhattan is unsettled.

On the on-road segments, which make up most of the Champlain Valley section, § 1242(8) lets Class 1 and 2 ride "highways with a posted speed limit of thirty miles per hour or less" unless a local rule says otherwise, and the Empire State Trail's own safety page repeats that limit.

If you plan a through ride from New York City up the Champlain Valley or west to Buffalo, the closed and undesignated miles from Van Cortlandt Park to Pawling, and the Hudson Valley Rail Trail from Lloyd to New Paltz, are the stretches to route around on roads, whatever your class. A Class 1 gains 16 off-road miles over a Class 2, most of them the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail between New Paltz and Kingston.

Riding the trail this fall? The fall guide screens 14 picks against every state's 750-watt line, New York's included, and computes range on each state's fall morning.

New York bike trails, region by region

The regions are NYS Parks' thirteen, as its own region layer draws them. Each table lists a region's longest trails, and the list under it names every trail in the region, sorted by which classes you may ride there.

Niagara: Buffalo, Niagara Falls and the canal's west end

Niagara region e-bike trails map: the Erie Canalway Trail in blue from Tonawanda to Lockport and Middleport, town trails around Buffalo in purple

The map shows 130 trails and 209 miles here, in Erie and Niagara counties. On a Class 1 you may ride 85 of those miles, and the Erie Canalway Trail carries the largest share of them, from Tonawanda through Amherst and Lockport to Middleport under the Canal Corporation's Class 1 and 2 rule.

Around Buffalo the town trails are the gap. Buffalo's Shoreline Trail and the rail trails and pathways of Clarence, Lancaster, Pendleton and Tonawanda carry no designation in the codes we read, so they show as closed by state law, or in gray where no record names a stretch's manager or the land is private.

Grand Island lets e-bikes onto "Town Bicycle Paths unless prohibited by the Town Board" (L.L. 4 of 2026), which opens its Veterans Park Trail, and State Parks' West River Shoreline Trail on the island takes Class 1 and 2.

Allegany: Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and the southern tier

Allegany region e-bike trails map: Allegany State Park and the Genesee Valley Greenway in amber and blue, state forests in dashed red

The map shows 107 trails and 401 miles here, in Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. State Parks carries most of the open miles here. Allegany State Park's trails are mostly natural-surface, so you may ride them on a Class 1 and not on a Class 2, while most of the Genesee Valley Greenway's miles in this region are improved and take both classes (OPR-POL-032).

The Chautauqua County Rail Trail is private land with its own rule: "Class I e-bikes are allowed on all CR2T Trails, Class II e-bikes are allowed but encouraged for limited use" (Chautauqua Rails to Trails). The region's state forests, from Harris Hill to McCarty Hill and Palmer's Pond, are DEC land, closed to e-bikes off their public roads.

Genesee: Rochester, Letchworth and the Lehigh Valley

Genesee region e-bike trails map: the Erie Canalway Trail and Rochester's Genesee Riverway Trail in blue, Letchworth State Park in amber, the Lehigh Valley Trail in purple

The map shows 165 trails and 411 miles here, in Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Orleans and Wyoming counties. The Erie Canalway Trail carries the most open miles, across Orleans and Monroe counties under the Canal Corporation's rule.

Rochester carries the region's biggest local opening: outside the Center City District, "persons 16 years of age or older may operate electric bicycles upon the sidewalk, Genesee Riverway Trail or any multi-use trail" (City Code § 34-2(C)). Letchworth State Park's trails are natural-surface, so you may ride them on a Class 1 only.

Monroe County's Lehigh Valley Trail, a 15-mile linear park by the county's own description, carries no county e-bike rule, so it shows as closed by state law, and the Groveland Secondary Trailway is DEC land, closed off-road. The Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge allows e-bikes on its Feeder Road Trail only.

Finger Lakes: Ithaca, Geneva and Victor

Finger Lakes region e-bike trails map: the Erie Canalway Trail in blue across Wayne County, state forests in dashed red, Ontario Pathways in gray

The map shows 261 trails and 488 miles here, in Cayuga, Chemung, Ontario, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne and Yates counties. DEC manages more of the mapped miles here than anyone else. Sugar Hill, Shindagin Hollow, Hammond Hill and the region's other state forests are closed to e-bikes off their roads, and the Finger Lakes National Forest bars them from its non-motorized trails.

State Parks' Catharine Valley Trail takes Class 1 on its natural surface, and the Erie Canalway Trail across Wayne County takes Class 1 and 2 under the Canal Corporation's rule.

A private trail and a town's trails stay unsettled. Ontario Pathways describes its trail as "a multi-use, non-motorized trail" without naming e-bikes, and the Town of Victor carves "pedal-assist (Class 1) electric bicycles" out of its off-road motor vehicle rule without designating its trails, so Victor's trails show as unsettled too (Town Code ch. 149). Farmington, next door, keeps Class 1 on the Auburn Trail Extension and closes the rest of its land.

Central: Syracuse, Utica, Oswego and the Catskill Scenic Trail

Central region e-bike trails map: the Erie Canalway Trail in blue from Syracuse past Utica, state forests in dashed red, the Oswego County Recreation Trail in purple

The map shows 271 trails and 647 miles here, in Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Herkimer, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego and Otsego counties. The canal corridor is open to you: the Erie Canalway Trail and Old Erie Canal State Historic Park take Class 1 and 2 from the Syracuse area east toward Utica and Rome, under the Canal Corporation's rule and State Parks' directive.

In Madison County, State Parks' Lehigh Valley Trail is a natural-surface state trail, open to Class 1 only, and Broome County opens Otsiningo Park's trails in Binghamton to Class 1 and 2.

The Oswego County Recreation Trail bars motorized vehicles other than emergency, highway and snowmobile traffic and names no e-bike rule, so it shows as closed by state law. The Catskill Scenic Trail is private and unsettled, and DEC's Charles E. Baker and Winona state forests are closed off-road.

Thousand Islands: Watertown and the St. Lawrence

Thousand Islands region e-bike trails map: state forest roads in blue, state forest trails in dashed red, the Rivergate Trail in gray

The map shows 212 trails and 590 miles here, in Clinton, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. DEC owns most of the mapped miles, so the rule is DEC's: you may ride its state forest roads, in Brasher, Jadwin and Tug Hill among others, on a Class 1 or 2 unless a road is posted, and its trails are closed.

NYS Parks' greenway layer records the Sissy Danforth Rivergate Trail's owner as the Thousand Islands Land Trust, a private owner whose preserve and trail pages name no e-bike rule, so it shows in gray. Long stretches of the region's old rail beds, such as the Adirondack Branch near Malone, carry no manager in any public record we read.

Adirondacks: the Forest Preserve and the rail trail

Adirondacks region e-bike trails map: Forest Preserve trails in dashed red, DEC roads in blue, the Adirondack Rail Trail in amber

The map shows 263 trails and 1,207 miles here, in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis, Oneida, Saratoga, St. Lawrence, Warren and Washington counties. The Adirondacks hold the most mapped trail miles of any region, and most of them are closed to e-bikes, because they are Forest Preserve: the Black River, Independence River, Lake George and Moose River Plains wild forests and the rest are closed to e-bikes off DEC's public roads.

The Adirondack Rail Trail is your way through: on a Class 1 you may ride it from Lake Placid to Tupper Lake, and on a throttle bike you may not. You may ride DEC's public roads in the region on a Class 1 or 2 unless a road is posted closed, and they make up most of the region's open miles.

Riding the Adirondack Rail Trail when the snow comes? DEC lets you ride it on a Class 1 in every season, and the winter guide screens its 14 picks against every state's e-bike definition, New York's included, with range computed at 14°F.

Saratoga-Capital District: Albany, Saratoga and Lake George

Saratoga-Capital District e-bike trails map: the Erie Canalway Trail, the Mohawk Hudson Trail and the Champlain Canalway in blue, state park trails in amber, the Warren County Bikeway in purple

The map shows 466 trails and 636 miles here, in Albany, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren and Washington counties. The Erie Canalway Trail west from Schenectady across Montgomery County, the Mohawk Hudson Trail between Albany and Schenectady and the Canal Corporation's stretches of the Champlain Canalway north from Waterford take Class 1 and 2, and so does the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail's Rensselaer County stretch.

Thacher, Grafton Lakes and Saratoga Spa state parks open their natural-surface trails to Class 1 (OPR-POL-032).

Queensbury opens its own land to Class 1 and 2 "anywhere bicycles without electric assist are legally allowed" (Town Code § 50-3), which covers the town's trail network. The Warren County Bikeway beside it is county land the county never opened: its 2022 pilot was withdrawn, so it shows as closed by state law. Colonie's paths are unsettled: its 2022 law bars Class 2 and 3 from them and never opens them to Class 1.

Catskills: the Forest Preserve and the Ashokan Rail Trail

Catskills region e-bike trails map: wild forest trails in dashed red, the Ashokan Rail Trail in blue

The map shows 59 trails and 197 miles here, in Delaware, Greene, Sullivan and Ulster counties. Like the Adirondacks, the Catskills are Forest Preserve: Willowemoc, Bluestone, Sundown and the other wild forests are closed to e-bikes off DEC's roads. The Ashokan Rail Trail along the reservoir is Ulster County's, and the county allows e-bikes on it, which this map reads as Class 1 and 2.

Taconic: Westchester, Dutchess, Putnam and Columbia

Taconic region e-bike trails map: the Harlem Valley and Dutchess rail trails in blue, Westchester's trailways in dashed red, county parks in purple

The map shows 323 trails and 456 miles here, in Columbia, Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester counties. The region splits at the county line. In Dutchess and Columbia, you may ride a Class 1 or 2 on the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, the Dutchess Rail Trail, the Maybrook Trailway from Pawling to Hopewell Junction, the Walkway Over the Hudson and the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail (Dutchess County; State Parks; the Greenway's AHET policy).

In Westchester, the county's trailways are closed to e-bikes and its other park trails carry no designation. You may ride State Parks' Old Croton Aqueduct State Trailway on a Class 1, since its surface is natural; New Rochelle opens its Colonial Greenway to Class 1 and 2, and Irvington closes its parks except Scenic Hudson Park. In Putnam County, Fahnestock's natural-surface trails take a Class 1.

New York City: park drives and greenways

New York City e-bike trails map: NYC Parks drives and greenways in green, Shirley Chisholm State Park in dashed red, the Hudson River Greenway in gray

The map shows 193 trails and 228 miles here, in Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens and Richmond counties. Almost all of it is green: NYC Parks' pilot opens park drives and greenways to Class 1, 2 and 3 through December 31, 2026, at the city's 15 mph limit, and the City's DOT greenways follow it. Shirley Chisholm State Park in Brooklyn says "No E-bikes or scooters".

On a Class 1 or 2 you may ride Gateway's Jamaica Bay paths where bicycles may go, Governors Island takes pedal-assist e-bikes only, and Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Hudson River Greenway beside Hudson River Park are unsettled.

Riding in the city? The New York City guide measures all 262 neighborhoods for grade and bike lanes and matches bikes under New York's 750-watt line to each.

Long Island: Nassau and Suffolk

Long Island e-bike trails map: Jones Beach and Bethpage in blue and amber, the Pine Barrens state forests in dashed red, Suffolk's state parks in gray

The map shows 172 trails and 380 miles here, in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and Nassau and Suffolk run on different rules.

In Nassau, State Parks' directive applies alone, so you may ride Jones Beach's paved paths on a Class 1 or 2 and Bethpage's natural-surface trails on a Class 1 only, while county land is closed to you: the county's motorized-scooter law keeps throttle bikes off it, and state law keeps a Class 1 off it.

In Suffolk, the county's law against e-bikes on public property meets State Parks' directive on the state parks, so Caumsett, Wildwood and the Suffolk end of the Ocean Parkway path show as unsettled. County parks, Brookhaven's and Smithtown's town land and DEC's Pine Barrens state forests are closed.

The North Shore Rail Trail follows an old rail corridor. The tax rolls name the Long Island Power Authority, a state authority, on part of it (purple on the map) and no owner on the rest (gray), and we found no rules for the trail from the county or the authority. On public land, Suffolk's § 822-11 keeps e-bikes off it.

Where riders get caught out

Check these nine rules before you ride: each one turns on your bike's class, who manages the land, your age or the date. Each is on the map above; here is how each one applies.

  • A throttle on a natural-surface state park trail. State Parks bars Class 2 from every unimproved trail, even where bicycles ride, so a throttle bike that is legal on the Walkway is not legal on Letchworth's or Allegany's trails.
  • Minnewaska and Mohonk on a Class 2. Both admit your e-bike only if it is a Class 1: Minnewaska on its designated carriage roads at up to 15 mph, Mohonk on its designated carriage roads and shared-use paths.
  • A DEC trail anywhere, on any class. The Forest Preserve, the state forests and DEC's other lands are closed off their public roads, whatever your class and however wide the trail looks.
  • Westchester's trailways. The North County and South County Trailways are part of the Empire State Trail and still closed to e-bikes, because the county says so.
  • A Suffolk County park. County land is closed by county law, and a first violation can cost up to $500.
  • Class 3 outside New York City. The class does not exist outside a city of a million people: § 1242(10) prohibits it, and State Parks bars it from every facility, parkways included.
  • A New York City footpath, or 2027. The pilot opens park drives and greenways, not footpaths, and it runs through December 31, 2026; check the NYC Parks page before you ride after that date.
  • Pittsford's stretch of the Erie Canal towpath. Everyone dismounts between the Main Street and State Street bridges.
  • A rider under 16. § 1242(2) says "No person less than sixteen years of age shall operate a bicycle with electric assist", on a trail or anywhere else.

Roads, sidewalks and the greenway beside a road

Your e-bike's default home in New York is the road, within limits. § 1242(8) lets you ride "highways with a posted speed limit of thirty miles per hour or less", designated bike lanes included, unless a local rule says otherwise. Sidewalks are closed: "No bicycle with electric assist shall be operated on a sidewalk, except as may be authorized by a local law or ordinance" (§ 1242(5)(a)).

The ban on public land in § 1242(4)(a) spares "a highway exclusive of any greenway running adjacent to or connected with a highway", and the statute takes "greenway" from two laws.

One is the Hudson River Valley Greenway, "the area designated as the Hudson river valley greenway" (ECL § 44-0103(7)); the other is the Niagara River Greenway, "a linear system of state and local parks and conservation areas linked by a network of multi use trails within the greenway area" (PRHPL § 39.03(1)).

A greenway trail beside a road in either of them is public land that needs a designation, and the Hudson River Greenway along Route 9A in Manhattan is the case you are most likely to meet.

A path inside a road's own boundary lines is a different question. The law defines a highway as "The entire width between the boundary lines of every way publicly maintained" (§ 118), so such a path can count as part of the road, where the 30 mph test in § 1242(8) decides. This map shows the state DOT's paths as not designated and names the question in its limitations.

On DEC land the public roads are the open network: "E-bikes are allowed on public roads managed by DEC unless the road is posted against such use." That is how you ride the Adirondacks and the Catskills on an e-bike: on the roads, off the trails, and on the Adirondack Rail Trail on a Class 1.

Choosing an e-bike for New York trails

Buy a Class 1 if you mean to ride state park trails, rail trails upstate or the Hudson Valley's carriage roads; a Class 2 adds a throttle and loses 759 of the mapped miles. Most of that gap is State Parks' natural-surface trails, with the Adirondack Rail Trail, Minnewaska, Mohonk, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and Orange County's Heritage Trail.

If you ride the canalways, the paved rail trails and city greenways, both classes go the same places, and a throttle helps on starts and hills.

A Class 3 makes sense only if your riding is in New York City: anywhere else the class is prohibited, and even in the city it rides park drives and greenways only under the pilot.

The surface is the other choice. The trail layers record 1,556 of the mapped miles as paved or improved and 1,389 as natural surface, and 3,297 carry no surface on record. For gravel canal towpaths and paved rail trails, a commuter or hybrid tire is enough; for DEC's dirt roads and the natural-surface state park trails you may ride on a Class 1, a wider tire buys you grip.

Keep the motor under 750 watts and keep the manufacturer's label on the frame, since § 1242(11) requires one showing the class, top assisted speed and wattage to ride a public street.

The mountain bike guide starts from the trail you can legally ride, then the suspension, and says which picks publish a Class 1 setting.

The bottom line

New York keeps public land closed to e-bikes until its owner opens it, and that is why 49% of the mapped miles are closed and 34% open to a Class 1. The open miles are the ones the state's trail agencies chose to open, State Parks' trails, the canalways, DEC's public roads and the Greenway's trail, plus the counties and towns in the tables above and New York City's pilot.

Check the color of your trail on the map before you ride, then the class on your label. If the trail you want is purple, its owner has not designated it. A state agency, city, town or village may designate its land "upon written request for such designation by any person" (§ 1242(4)(b)), so you can ask in writing.

The places to watch are DEC's trails (closed to every class), State Parks' natural surfaces and the carriage roads at Minnewaska and Mohonk (Class 1 only), Westchester's trailways and Suffolk's county parks (closed), and anywhere outside New York City on a Class 3.

Frequently asked questions

Are e-bikes allowed on bike trails in New York?

Only where the trail's owner has opened them. VTL § 1242(4)(a) bars e-bikes from public land unless it is "designated and posted", so on a Class 1 you may ride 2,127 of the 6,242 mapped miles, and on a Class 2 1,368. State Parks' paved trails, the canalways, the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail and several county rail trails are open; DEC's trails are closed.

Are e-bikes allowed in New York State parks?

Yes, on trails built for bikes. State Parks' directive allows Class 1 and 2 on boardwalks and paved or improved trails at up to 15 mph, Class 1 alone on natural-surface trails that already take bicycles, and no Class 3 anywhere. Minnewaska allows Class 1 only on its carriage roads, and Shirley Chisholm State Park allows no e-bikes (OPR-POL-032).

Can you ride an e-bike on the Empire State Trail?

On most of it, with a Class 1 or 2. On a Class 1 you may ride 399 of the trail's 479 off-road miles in NYS Parks' segment layer. Westchester's North County and South County Trailways are closed to e-bikes, and the Putnam Trailway, the Maybrook Trailway to Pawling and the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in Lloyd carry no designation.

The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail takes Class 1 only, and 284 miles run on roads, where § 1242(8) lets you ride a Class 1 or 2 on roads posted 30 mph or less.

Are e-bikes allowed on the Erie Canal trail?

Yes, Class 1 and 2. The Canal Corporation allows "Class 1 & 2 E-bikes not capable of pedal-assist beyond 20 mph", with a 15 mph trail limit and dawn-to-dusk hours, and bars Class 3 (Canal Corporation). In the Village of Pittsford everyone dismounts on the towpath between the Main Street and State Street bridges.

Are e-bikes allowed on the Adirondack Rail Trail?

Class 1 only. DEC's page says "Motorized vehicles, aside from snowmobiles and class one E-bikes, are prohibited on the entire corridor in all seasons", so you may ride from Lake Placid to Tupper Lake on a pedal-assist bike but not on a throttle bike (DEC).

Can you ride an e-bike in the Adirondacks?

On roads, and on one trail. DEC allows e-bikes "on public roads managed by DEC unless the road is posted against such use" and prohibits them off-road, so the Forest Preserve's trails are closed to every class. The Adirondack Rail Trail is the exception, for Class 1 (DEC).

Are e-bikes allowed in Central Park?

Yes, on the park drives, under NYC Parks' pilot, which "is in effect from June 20, 2023 through December 31, 2026" and opens park drives and greenways to e-bikes, Class 3 included. The pilot does not open footpaths, and the city's 15 mph e-bike limit applies (NYC Parks).

Can you ride an e-bike in Prospect Park?

Yes, on the drive, on the same pilot terms as Central Park: Class 1, 2 and 3 through December 31, 2026, at up to 15 mph, and not on the park's footpaths (NYC Parks).

Can you ride an e-bike on the Hudson River Greenway?

It is unsettled. The Hudson River Park Trust says "No e-bikes, e-scooters or motorized vehicles of any kind are permitted ... on the bike path adjacent to the Park", while the bikeway is state DOT land and the City's chart opens greenways to e-bikes under the parks pilot (Hudson River Park Trust). Until that is settled, follow the Park Trust's posted rule beside its park.

Where can you ride an e-bike on Long Island?

In Nassau, on State Parks' bike trails, such as Jones Beach's paved paths (Class 1 and 2) and Bethpage's natural trails (Class 1). In Suffolk, county parks are closed by county law, and the county's ban on e-bikes on public property makes its state parks unsettled.

What are Westchester County's e-bike rules for trails?

Westchester closes its trailways: its parks page says "No motorized vehicles/e-bikes" on the Bronx River Pathway and the North and South County Trailways. Its other park trails have no designation, and the park code keeps vehicles off paths (Westchester County Parks). You may ride State Parks' Old Croton Aqueduct on a Class 1, and New Rochelle opens its own paths to you on a Class 1 or 2.

What e-bikes are allowed in NYC?

All three classes, which makes New York City the only place in the state a Class 3 may ride. Class 1 and 2 stop assisting at 20 mph and Class 3 at 25 (VTL § 102-c), and the city caps every e-bike at 15 mph (NYC DOT). Park drives and greenways are open under the pilot through December 31, 2026.

Yes. A bicycle with "an electric motor of less than seven hundred fifty watts" and operable pedals, in one of the three classes, is legal at 16 and older (VTL § 102-c, § 1242(2)). Where you may ride it is the narrow part: roads posted 30 mph or less, and public land only where it is designated. New York's e-bike laws covers the rest.

Why are e-bikes banned in New York State?

They are not banned. The 2020 law made Class 1 and 2 legal statewide, and Class 3 in New York City, but it closed public land to them until each owner designates it. State Parks, the Canal Corporation and the Hudson River Valley Greenway have opened their trails; DEC has opened its roads, not its trails; and many counties and towns have not acted.

Do e-bikes need to be registered in New York?

No. State Parks' directive notes that "The VTL does not require the devices referenced above to be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles" (OPR-POL-032). What the law does require is the maker's label showing the class, top assisted speed and wattage (§ 1242(11)).

How we verified this map

The map is a register of 2,819 trails, every line one of New York's agency layers or OpenStreetMap maps as open to bicycles, with each trail's manager and the rule that manager publishes. Rules were read on October 10, 2026, and every line traces to a row in the downloadable register.

  • Trails. NYS Parks' trail and greenway layers, DEC's six trail and road layers, the Canal Corporation's canalway routes, the Empire State Trail's off-road segments, NYC Parks' pilot layer and NYC DOT's greenways, the Westchester, Saratoga and Putnam county layers, and OpenStreetMap; only lines open to bicycles were kept, and a trail two layers both draw is counted once, by the rule under Limitations.
  • Managers. The layer's own manager where the layer is an agency's; otherwise the owner field, the state's protected-areas database, the tax parcel the trail crosses, or a government's own page. Where none names one, the town is listed and the trail shows in gray (549 trails).
  • Rules. The statute, each agency's directive or page, and the codes of 251 of the 367 local governments that manage a mapped trail, read in full on eCode360 and Municode. Every local law filed with the Department of State that names e-bikes and a trail, park or public land was read as well (70 filings), and each of the 147 local codes, filed laws and records found to name e-bikes was recorded with what it does.
  • Sources. Most trail rules have one publisher, the agency, county, town or land trust that makes them, so each was read at that publisher and a dated copy kept. The state law was read in the Senate's text and checked against State Parks' directive and the DMV, which restate it.
  • Questions. We harvested 3,102 searches and questions on October 10, 2026 from Google's autocomplete, Brave's People also ask, forum threads and ranking pages, and an AI prompt panel, 5 sources in all. This page answers 1,235 of them; the rest were set aside as other states, rentals, trail logistics or e-bike law beyond the trails. Brave's results were read for 15 of 58 searches.
  • The Empire State Trail. New York's own segment layer (256 segments), each off-road segment matched to the register line under it.
  • Map. Drawn with Playcut Brush from the register on U.S. Census Bureau 1:500,000 boundaries and NYS Parks' region layer.

If a rule on this map has changed, email the trail's name and the new rule's source to support@redtailebikes.com, and its register row is read again.

Limitations

  1. Managers not on record. For 549 trails (526 miles) no record we read names the manager, so the town the trail lies in is listed and the trail shows in gray. If the land is public, state law keeps e-bikes off it until its owner designates it; if it is private, the owner decides.
  2. Codes not online. Of the 367 local governments that manage a mapped trail, 115 publish no code on eCode360 or Municode. Their local laws filed with the state were read, but an ordinance is not filed with the state, so their trails show in gray (120 miles). Orange County's code could not be read; its Heritage Trail rule comes from the county's trail page.
  3. Posted signs. Public land opens only once it is "designated and posted" (§ 1242(4)(a)), and several rules turn on signs: DEC roads "unless the road is posted against such use", Wildlife Management Areas "unless specifically allowed by posted notice" (DEC's biking page), and Cicero, Canisteo, Hornell and Yonkers only where posted. The sign at the trailhead is the rule on the ground.
  4. Our reading. These rows rest on how we read a text that does not name the case: Ulster County's "e-bikes are allowed" (Ashokan Rail Trail page) read as Class 1 and 2; Governors Island's "pedal-assist e-bicycles" (island rules) read as Class 1; Nassau County's motorized-scooter law (Miscellaneous Laws, Title 61) read as reaching throttle e-bikes; Colonie's bar on Class 2 and 3 (Town Local Law 6 of 2022) read as leaving Class 1 undesignated; and the trails of private owners that bar "motorized vehicles" without naming e-bikes, shown as unsettled.
  5. Counties. § 1242(4)(b) lets state agencies, cities, towns and villages designate land and names no county. This map colors county trails by each county's published rule, as the Greenway's e-bike policy ("the public entity that owns and operates a specific trail") and the Empire State Trail's safety page support; a court could read the statute more narrowly.
  6. Two texts that disagree. The Empire State Trail's FAQ ("neither explicitly allowed nor prohibited") and the statute; Suffolk County's § 822-11 and State Parks' directive on Suffolk's state parks; the Hudson River Park Trust and the City's chart on the Hudson River Greenway; East Hampton's and Babylon's 2025 openings and Suffolk's later law; Brooklyn Bridge Park's "motorized bicycles" and the City's chart. Each is printed both ways above.
  7. Paths inside a road's boundary. VTL § 118 counts "The entire width between the boundary lines" of a public road as the highway, so a path inside those lines may follow the road's 30 mph test instead of the public-land rule. The map shows 25 of the state DOT's mapped miles of path as not designated.
  8. Schedules not published. Croton-on-Hudson and the Village of Ossining list their restricted trails and hours in a schedule "on file in the Village offices" (§ 80-6; § 83-6), which could not be read.
  9. Pending. Mount Pleasant's L.L. 7 of 2026 (approved September 22, 2026) and Salina's L.L. 12 of 2026 (adopted in September 2026) take effect when filed with the state and were not in its index on October 10, 2026; Lancaster's, Brockport's and Carthage's e-bike laws were still proposed or in draft; a Nassau County bill had no recorded vote; and NYC Parks' pilot runs through December 31, 2026.
  10. Surface. No surface is on record for 3,297 of the mapped miles. State Parks trails without one show as Class 1 only; if such a trail is paved or improved, you may ride it on a Class 2 as well.
  11. Miles are mapped line lengths, and a trail drawn twice counts once. Two lines running the same way are one path within 10 m of each other in one layer and within 20 m across layers, and two layers' lines that carry the same trail name are one trail where they run within 120 m, a median of 60 m or less apart, unless a third layer maps a path at each. That is how the Adirondack Rail Trail is mapped at 34.3 miles against the 34 miles DEC gives it. Two layers' lines of one path that sit more than 20 m apart under different names are still counted twice: lines within 40 m of another layer's line for at least 80% of their length come to 19 miles, 0.3% of the map. A trail mapped with spurs or parallel paths can measure longer than its signed length.
  12. One manager and one town per mapped line. A trail line is cut where it crosses a county or region line, so its county and region are its own. Within a county it carries one manager and one town, the ones its records name or that hold most of it. Where a line with no named manager crosses a town line, the town shown beside it is right for most of the line but not all (60 miles); those trails show in gray either way.
  13. When this map ages. Its rules were read on October 10, 2026. It goes out of date when NYC Parks' pilot ends or is extended, when a pending local law is filed, when State Parks or DEC changes its rule, or when any county, city, town or village on the map changes its own; each register row names the rule it was read from, so a changed rule can be re-checked trail by trail.
