In Orange you can try Stewart. I hear it is vast, i have never been there. If you don' mind a drive you can go up past Mohonk and try Lippman park in Kerhonkson. Very cool place run by the Renegades bike club, they have a website and also offer tours. You can also come across to the Taconic Parkway and go to 909 (Taconic Hereford Multiple Use Area). Going North take a right onto Tyrell Road and go until you see the parking lot. The Fats in the Cats have a website with all of these spots listed.

Check out singletracks.com They have a trail finder that should give you most of what you need to know. Not sure if there is anything there for you but it's worth looking into.

Bump

So got to Newburgh Stewart Airport park is huge I like riding their you can get lost very easily lots if bike and walking , I recommend getting a map off internet because very easy to get lost when I go back I will bring a map, huge. Then I went to Liberty NY yesterday my sick day from work. Went to Walnut mountain lots of trail on actual mountain I like this place a lot. Trees branches have been been removed lots of fun bike and walking trails. This place used to be a ski hill in 1920s and I see potential for hiking in winter for powder turns. I think I be going here a lot into it to cold to bike , and I live about 30 miles away. Anyone who is in the area who likes cross county trails in real hill I recommend coming here for sure.:)
