Confirmed from Bethpage Bikeway's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“Very scenic on the south end in the Massapequa Preserve area with lakes, bridges and streams right along the path.”

My favorite bike path on Long Island! Very scenic on the south end in the Massapequa Preserve area with lakes, bridges and streams right along the path. It’s a completely paved, car-free path and there are only a handful of street crossings.

★★★★★ — Kelly , Aug 2022

The best bike path in Long Island. You can ride almost 20 plus miles round trip on this path. If you want to extend it , you can even connect to the Jones beach bike trail but then you have to ride on the road for 10-15 minutes.

★★★★★ — Nayeem , Aug 2019

Way to many people walking around like they just discovered that there is an outside

★★★★☆ — Luis , Jun 2020

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
