The Hudson Valley Rail Trail is a paved 4-mile (6.4 km) east–west rail trail in the town of Lloyd in Ulster County, New York, stretching from the Poughkeepsie Bridge through the hamlet of Highland. Operated by a variety of railroads, the rail corridor formed the western portion of the Poughkeepsie Bridge Route. It eventually became part of Conrail, which discontinued rail traffic along the corridor and sold it in 1984 to a convicted felon. The land was seized by Ulster County in 1991 and converted to a trail by 1997. The trail was extended east to the Poughkeepsie Bridge in 2010. It intersects U.S. Route 9W and U.S. Route 44 (concurrent with State Route 55). To the west, the trail passes through a wetlands complex and is being extended to New Paltz, where it will border State Route 299.
