This a great new short trail thats still soft. It will improve with time. This a great, advanced beginners trail. It is short but has some great switchbacks and a couple short climbs. It is surrounded by suburbia so bailing is super easy. No real elevation but some tight and technical climbs. Follow the white triangles for the bike trail. This trail is shared with hikers. The white rectangles with the dot in the middle is the hiking trail. There are sections where they are together. This trail is maintained by CLIMB. Show this short gem some love! Directly across the street from the trailhead is the Washington Ave. trail crossing for Trail View State Park trail, listed here on Singletracks.com. For those riding Trail View, this certainly could add a couple miles for some recovery and fun after the tough section of Trail View ending at this exact spot!
Manetto Hills is near Plainview, Long Island. The trailhead is about 350 North of the LIE overpass on Washington Ave. Take Exit 48, Round Swamp Road. Coming from the West, make a right onto Round Swamp Road. Coming from the East, make a left onto Round Swamp Road and go under the LIE. In a ¼ of a mile bear right onto Old Country Road. Main road bears to the right. Take this about ½ mile to East Bethpage Road and make a right. Take East Bethpage Road to the end and make a right onto Washington Ave. Just after you go under the LIE, the trailhead is on right with a small sign that says Washington Ave.. Parking is on the road.
