Revolution Rail – Rail Bike Tours – Trips in North Creek!

What is Rail biking?
Rail biking with Revolution Rail Co. is a fun excursion activity that allows riders to ride the railroad tracks under their own power and explore a section of the Adirondacks that has never seen passenger traffic.
Once rail bikers check in at the historic North Creek Railroad Station, they’ll take a short shuttle ride 5 miles north of town to the tour launch point. After a short safety briefing, the tour guides will lead the rail bikers further north on a 6 mile round trip cruise.

New, the South River Run takes riders south right out of the North Creek Railroad Station for a 9 mile out-and-back trip. Riders on the South River Run enjoy varied rolling terrain, hug the Hudson River shoreline for large sections of the ride, and enjoy a number of incredible vistas of the Hudson River.
Additional trips in Thurman/Stony Creek and Hadley – info on the website, link below.

Open for the 2025 season! Click on the website link below for reservations and additional info.
