The Kensico Reservoir loop offers a delightful touring cycling experience, winding around the picturesque reservoir and across the historic Kensico Dam. You'll enjoy spectacular views of the water and the monumental dam, an early 20th-century engineering marvel. The terrain is mostly paved and smooth, making it well-suited for touring bikes, though you should be prepared for some short, challenging inclines, including a notable "brick road climb" at the dam.

This moderate 21.2-mile (34.1 km) route, with 1009 feet (307 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes about 2 hours and 6 minutes to complete. It's generally suitable for all skill levels, but the inclines mean it's not entirely flat. Parking is available at the Kensico Dam Plaza; consider arriving early, especially on weekends, to secure a spot. The best time to cycle is during spring, summer, and autumn, with fall foliage being particularly stunning.

Beyond the scenic beauty, the Kensico Reservoir loop offers a journey through history, highlighted by the colossal Kensico Dam, which was crucial for supplying water to New York City. The route also connects to the Bronx River Pathway, America's oldest greenway, offering an extended, mostly flat cycling option. On select Sundays, the parallel Bronx River Parkway closes to traffic, providing a unique car-free cycling opportunity.
