Pick a Route
Ride when you want, how you want.
The Brookhaven Bike Alliance has “outlined” several routes for you to consider at your own pace. These are not turn-by-turn routes, but rather more overall directions in order to pass through the parks.
We encourage you to treat these maps as suggestions only; you should plan your own route according to your own comfort and risk level. We hope these help point you in the right direction!
