I wish it were... alas it's actually about 14 miles from Hopewell Junction to the middle of the walkway.
Though it is about 22 miles from Hopewell across the river, onto the Hudson trail and then the recent Empire Trail construction of a few more miles over the thruway to where separated path yields to on street paint and then nothing at all on the outskirts of New Paltz.
And when the Maybrook opens, those new 23 roundabout miles following the old rail line between and occasionally over the hills will link it to within a mile of the Putnam division and make one epic ride.
