For years bicycling and other outdoor activities in Sullivan County have been very limited.The support from local municipalities was non existant, and the desire to invest in eco-friendly tourism was limited to a few. A few residents took note of these disparities. After experiencing how other communities became tighter and healthier through cycling, they new the time was now to change the way Sullivan County was. Thus came the birth of LibertyBikeTrail.org in January 2007.

Our goals as an organization are to promote community bike trails, make residents aware of the benefits of bicycles, hold events where all skill levels and all ages can participate, and promote bicycle riding to the youth of Sullivan County.

We are located in the center of Sullivan County, Liberty New York. Our Bike Trails are where bicyclists, hikers, residents, and tourists can have the Liberty to enjoy the natural beauty of Sullivan County. Our members strive to open and support community trails in Sullivan County.

LibertyBikeTrail.org now has over 250 members in 15 States and 5 Countries, all of who have an un-dieing love for the natural beauty of Sullivan County.

Together we are changing the history of the county! Our efforts will make the area healthier, bring in eco-tourism, support local business, build close-knit communities, reduce pollution, and best of all – bring outdoor fun to everyone!
