Railbiking 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 Adirondack railroad that never saw passenger traffic.

Railbikers can choose between our “North Bridge Run” or “South River Run!”

 The North Bridge Run takes riders on a 7 mile out-and-back trip along the banks of the Hudson River briefly, through the beautiful Adirondack forest canopy, and then over the Hudson on a spectacular trestle bridge before turning for the return ride back to the launch point.

 New in 2020, the South River Run takes riders south right out of the North Creek Railroad Station for an approximately 9 mile out-and-back trip. Riders on the South River Run hug the Hudson River shoreline and enjoy a number of incredible vistas of the Hudson River.

​Reservations are STRONGLY recommended – check our calendar for current availability.

​How long is my railbiking adventure?

​Each tour takes about 2 to 2.5 hours.

​What’s your daily schedule?
