Directions: Take taconic parkway north from i-84, get off at Tyrell
Rd, exit to the right. Follow Tyrell Rd 0.75 miles to NYSDEC trailhead marker and parking
lot. Another lot exists just south off Tyrell Road, NYSDEC sign on taconic parkway,
must exit sharply right from parkway.
From the south, take Tyrell Rd. exit, turning left and crossing over north bound lane.
Tyrell Rd is North of the Hopewell Jct Rt 82 exit and south of the
Millbrook/Poughkeepsie Rt 44 exit.
Trail Information: From parking lot, follow truck trail
straight to end, turning left, follow to next parking area. Follow small hiking trail from
second lot to end, turn left and you are back at original parking lot. 3 miles.
Explore many other trails that crisscross this loop. A five mile run is made
by turning left onto hiking path after leaving first lot on truck trail, following around
up and over mountain until it becomes the truck trail, stay straight until you reach
second parking lot, follow hiking trail as in above to original lot. very challenging five
miler. lots of mountain bikers, hunting in season. very challenging hills and lots
of ups and downs on hiking trails, truck trail is rolling and packed in cinder.
Maintained by NYSDEC, a map may exist through them directly. sporadic red trail
markers exist. pretty hard to get lost if you stay on a well beaten path and
persevere.
