From the Cross Island Parkway northbound, take the Bell Boulevard exit; at the end of the exit ramp, make a right onto Fort Totten Road, then a left into the parking lot. Another lot can be found at the northern trailhead off Utopia Parkway. Mid-trail, public parking can be found at the Bayside Marina on weekdays, but a parking permit is required there on the weekends.
It is perfect for quick morning ride with nice view.
This is a short, well paved path. It has plenty of room but a bit noisy from the parkway.
Anything less than 5 miles is short for me, so 10 miles round trip. I combined this ride with another in the area near City Island. After driving past this path so many times I sought out the name and finally rode it, very happily. Park at Fort Totten and enjoy the great scenery. Lots of traffic noise near the road, but a small inconvenience for the views.
Very nice paved path next to the CIP
Plenty of room, not too crowded. Waterfront views of boats and bridges on the side
Newly paved trail is now open from the marina to Northern Blvd. This is a great ride especially during the week when it is not so crowded. As another reviewer stated one can extend their ride into nearby Fort Totten.
Closed for two years now, to all traffic from marina to Northern BLVD
It is a wonderful bike ride. If you do it close to sunset, you can enjoy some rich colors overlooking the Throgsneck bridge.
The great thing about this trail is you can also ride in Ft. Totten. I usually park on Utopia Parkway and ride all the way to Douglaston Parkway.
One of the better trails in queens area. Good for all activities.
