Description
This trail is partially on an old paved forest road and partially on a trail. It heads west from Fort Montgomery, sharing the route with multiple trails until it crosses the Palisades Interstate near Seven Lakes Drive. From here, it will take you southeast into the interior of the park where a few historical sites sit ending at 1777 Trail and 1777 East Trail.
