About This Trail
The profile is essentially flat — 86% of the 7.0 miles sits under a 1% grade, for 85 ft of total gain. The main climb starts right off the line and runs 0.71 miles, gaining 66 ft at an average 1.8%. You finish 56 ft below the start, so an out-and-back saves the climbing for the return.

Background
The Brooklyn–Queens Greenway is the plan for a linear pedestrian/cyclist path in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. Although proposals for this path to be fully separated from automobile traffic has existed for decades, only sections have been constructed with large unprotected gaps between them. The fully planned path will connect Coney Island in the south of Brooklyn to Fort Totten in the north of Queens.
