The Eisenhower Park and Motor Parkway Loop offers a delightful road cycling experience, winding through the expansive 930-acre Eisenhower Park. You'll glide past scenic vistas of the park's golf course and through tree-lined sections of the historic Motor Parkway, enjoying a calm and quiet atmosphere. This easy 12.4-mile (19.9 km) route features a gentle 104 feet (32 metres) of elevation gain, making it a relaxed ride that most cyclists can complete in about 51 minutes.
Planning your ride is simple, as the loop is easily accessible within Eisenhower Park. While the park offers various access points, parking is generally available throughout the grounds. This trail is suitable for all fitness levels, and you can enjoy it year-round, though spring and fall often provide the most comfortable temperatures for cycling.
This route is particularly notable for its connection to the historic Long Island Motor Parkway, an early automobile roadway. The completion of a "missing link" has created a continuous multi-use trail system, allowing you to cycle a significant portion of this legacy. Keep an eye out for historical markers along the way, which highlight the parkway's past and the park's significance as a major open space in the New York metropolitan area.
