Rail bike tours
About
You pedal an electric-assist rail bike along old railroad track from the Hawley train depot area. The tours follow the Lackawaxen River, and the staff says the electric assist makes it easy for people of all ages. Tours include the Feel the Power Tour, which runs about two hours and visits a hydroelectric site, plus ice cream, pumpkin and sunset beer-and-wine tours.
The bikes have seat belts and hand brakes. The turnaround spot, about 5 miles in, has picnic tables.
When to go
The site says it runs every day out of Hawley at 9:00am, 12:00pm and 3:00pm, from Memorial Day weekend to Halloween. It is closed for the winter. Autumn has a Pumpkin Run special.
Good to know
Arrive no later than 30 minutes before your tour. There is no grace period once it leaves.
Tours run rain or shine unless the guides judge the weather dangerous.
Children must ride with a rider at least 16 years old, who works the brakes. Each guest needs their own seat and seat belt. The limit is 300 lbs per rider per seat.
Wear closed-toe shoes. Pets, alcohol brought from home and glass containers are not allowed.
Every person needs a signed waiver. Bathrooms are at the Hawley station and the turnaround.
Price
Prices vary by tour and are listed per bike. Check the website before you go.
