Bronx River Pathway – Scarsdale/Hartsdale Missing Link

Some digging around on the web provided me with the answers that eluded me for a year. Until the Bronx River Pathway is officially connected between Scarsdale and Hartsdale…how do you keep on runnin’?

You have 2 options. Note that these directions are written as though you are running north (from White Plains).

Option 1

• When the trail ends, turn right.
• Run over the overpass (above Bronx River Parkway and the train tracks that run parallel).
• Follow the sidewalk as it curves right. Enter the Hartsdale train station.
• Bear right (you’ll now end up running UNDER the overpass you just ran across.
• Continue along Aqueduct Pipeline Road. Note: This road has no sidewalk or shoulder, but is not heavily travelled – be sure to run against traffic.
• About 1 mile down is Edgemont Place. Continue past.
• Follow the S-curve. About halfway through the turn is a small opening in the guardrail on the left.
• Head south and look for the path on the right as it enters the woods behind some apartment buildings.
• The BR Pathway picks up again at Harney Road.

Option 2

• When the pathway ends, turn left.
• Run up the hill. Turn right on Walworth Ave (first traffic light).
• At the next light (Fennimore Rd) Walworth becomes Fox Meadow Road.
• Continue for a couple of miles through this residential neighborhood. No sidewalks, but plenty of room to run and the naitives are friendly.
• Fox Meadow runs out (T-intersection). Turn right onto Crane Road.
• Bear left onto East Parkway. This becomes Scarsdale Ave.
• Pass through Scarsdale train station parking lot.
• Turn right onto Popham Road.
• Turn left on Garth Road.
• The path picks up at Harney Road.
