Confirmed from Poughkeepsie Urban Rail Trail'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.
What runners say about Poughkeepsie Urban Rail Trail
I ride this everyday on my bike. Its a safe way that i do not get hit by a car and its easy and great attractive pavement wish all of poughkeepsie had bike trails like this as im dodging cars not to get hit. Its a nice trail.
One of my favorite places especially when it's nice weather watch out for the cyclists because they think they have the right away and they zip by you it's a walking trail first

The practical stuff

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
