The Bike loop from Shoreham offers a delightful exploration of Long Island's North Shore, blending the smooth, paved surface of the North Shore Rail Trail with more varied local roads and gravel paths. As you cycle, you'll pass through serene wooded areas, catch glimpses of the coast, and navigate gentle bluffs, with opportunities to spot local wildlife like deer and rabbits. This moderate 20.3-mile (32.7 km) route, featuring 501 feet (153 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 1 hour and 53 minutes, making it a rewarding ride for those seeking diverse Shoreham bike loops.
When planning your ride, remember that while the North Shore Rail Trail provides a dedicated path, it's currently light on amenities like restrooms or water fountains, so come prepared. The loop also includes frequent road crossings, requiring cyclists to stay alert. Parking is generally accessible in the village of Shoreham, and visiting during the spring or fall offers the most comfortable weather for enjoying the scenic beauty.
This route incorporates Long Island's first rail-trail, which officially opened in 2022, transforming a former railway line into a safer cycling alternative away from vehicle traffic. The trail is known for its accessibility and flat sections, though the broader loop introduces more varied terrain. It's a great way to experience the region's natural features and connect with local recreational areas, offering a unique blend of history and outdoor activity.
