Long Island's longest Traffic free, paved bike path is the 13-mile Bethpage Bikeway. This scenic trail brings you through 2 State Parks, 2 wetland preserves and 2 town parks. Pick your own pace and mileage as you pedal between parks on the Bethpage Bikeway. We start this ride in Brady Park, the park has restrooms & picnic tables. Then we enter the Massapequa Preserve, while riding in the preserve you will follow a stream as it connects to ponds along the way. The preserve is 423 acres of woodlands, ponds & freshwater wet-lands.

As you ride further on the bikeway you will reach the picnic area of Bethpage State Park, with restrooms & picnic tables. Just past the picnic area are the remains of a Banked turn from the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, Year 1906. The Motor Pkwy, with its banked turns, guard rails, reinforced concrete tarmac, and controlled access, was the first limited-access roadway in the world. As you proceed north on the bikeway you enter Trailview State Park, this linier park was the old right-of-way for the Bethpage Pkwy. After passing under the L.I.E. the bikeway turns west into Plainview and right past the Holiday Inn. After the bikeway travels over the Northern Pkwy it is only a mile to the end at Woodbury road.
