Feeling patriotic? Then hop on your bike and explore the Uncle Sam Bikeway in Troy, located on the east side of the Hudson River in the Capital Region.

Connecting north and south Troy and serving as a recreational asset for area residents, this seven-mile bikeway has seen tremendous growth over the last several years. No longer an isolated off-road path, visitors can now enjoy 3 miles of paved off-road riding along the former Troy & Boston Railroad line (the stretch between Cemetery Drive and Northern Drive is newly paved) and experience the heart of downtown Troy using a combination of shared lanes, bicycle lanes, and cycle tracks.
