Description

The adventure begins at the North Creek Railroad Station, where participants are shuttled to the starting point of their railbiking journey. The tour offers several options, including the North Bridge Run and the South River Run. The North Bridge Run is a 7-mile round trip that takes you over a stunning trestle bridge across the Hudson River, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness. Alternatively, the South River Run covers a slightly longer 7.5-mile route that hugs the riverbank, offering opportunities to spot local wildlife and enjoy the area’s natural beauty. For a more extended experience, the "Rails to River" combines railbiking with a relaxing tubing trip down the river, perfect for cooling off in the summer months.

What a beautiful experience to be apart of……an autumn tapestry by rail…. To be able to pierce into the center of the forest and be able to ride parallel to the Hudson was an experience that everyone should have..: as others have mentioned, the staff were so nice and pleasant. We did the pumpkin patch tour, which was fun and a nice souvenir to take back with us (included in the price)… the drive up was absolutely beautiful, just a little ways pass Lake George…. If looking for peace and quiet you got it, if looking for a romantic date, you got that too… Great for all ages…and a great work out Will definitely refer others to enjoy ….and we will definitely come back to experience one of the many other tours.

We’ve done the rail bike with Revolution Rail twice and we love the North Creek trail. It’s a fantastic view as you bike parallel to the Hudson River. The nature views are fantastic, the staff is wonderful, and the rail bikes are well maintained. It’s a nice and easy 2 hour fun activity for the entire family.

Revolution Rail is definitely an experience you aren't going to get in many places. The views are mostly trees and train tracks, but there are a few really lovely views over the river. We had a mixed-age group (teenagers to late 60s) and everyone was able to manage the rail bikes with little difficulty. Our tour took a little over 2 hours. Make a reservation if you will be here in the high tourist season.

Very nice experience. Not a lot of uphill on the trail over the Hudson and it is beautiful. Fall would definitely be perfect with the leaves changing. This was our 3rd trip and we always enjoy it.

Great time with Mark K. as our conductor! Good workout with beautiful views of the Hudson. The staff at check-in were so nice (Carolyn) and I even bought reasonably price souvenirs! Definitely something you’ve got to try!
