Old Erie Path

The Old Erie Path is a 3.4 mile north-south rail trail in the town of Orangetown, Rockland County, New York.

It begins at the southern edge of South Nyack at the end of the Raymond G. Esposito Trail, spanning Grand View-on-Hudson and Piermont before terminating at the junction of the Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail in Sparkill.

[1] The trail is a dirt path, suitable for hiking and mountain biking.

The trail follows the former Northern Branch, which was originally constructed in 1859 by the Northern Railroad of New Jersey from Nyack to Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City.

[3] The ruins of the platform of the Grand View station are visible from the trail, but the stationhouse collapsed during a storm in 1970.
