The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in New York, about 0.1 mile from Crotonville. It is an out-and-back ride of roughly 0.24 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 51 feet. The trail is nearly flat, with the steepest stretch at about 5% grade near the start, and the high point sits at 147 feet. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F, while July peaks near 83°F and January highs sit around 35°F. That station sits about 520 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. The Croton River, about 1.3 miles away, offers canoeing, and the Croton Gorge Trail and Cliffdale Loop are both about 1.5 miles off. Mountain bikers can also ride the Croton RiverWalk, roughly 1.6 miles away.
