On July 27, 2013 we cycled the Orange Heritage Trail from Goshen to Monroe, New York. To access the Parking lot in Goshen from Rt.84, exit south onto either Rt. 17 or Rt. 17M/6. Just after the merge of rt. 17 and rt 17M/6, turn left onto Rt 207/Greenwich Ave. The parking area will be on your right between Green St and S. Church St.
