Rockland Lake Biking Trail should be mentioned among good trails in the Nyack vicinity. If you have completed the Havestraw trail (you can see it on the map below following the Hudson bank on the right), but still in the mood for some biking, you can try this 3 mile recreational trail that loops around the majestic Rockland Lake.
The park is a giganticly beautiful picnic oasis and thus may be quite crowded on the weekends, but it is an otherwise pleasurable ride through varied scenery including some secluded wooded area. Pack a picnic and $8 if you want to venture on this ride.
Tip: park 300 feet away from parking field 3 at the Havestraw Trail entrance (take a right at the fork among the houses on Rockland Lake Rd) and save yourself the admission fee.
Overall, this trail gets a solid B grade. It is not mountain biking per se, but quite a scenic route that deserves a loop while you are in the area.
