Route Description
Arden Valley Road begins at an intersection with NY 17 in Southfields. The road immediately becomes concurrent with the Appalachian Trail, a roughly 2,100-mile (3,400 km) trail spanning the eastern United States. The road heads into Harriman State Park and crosses a pain of train tracks before passing over the New York State Thruway. The highway continues along the border of Harriman State Park; at the Elk's Pen Trailhead, the Appalachian Trail leaves Arden Valley Road and heads into park.
The road intersects with Island Pond Road, a dirt path in Harriman, as it heads along the border. Arden Valley Road intersects with Crooked Road thereafter. Harris Mine is visible to the left as the road proceeds around the base of Echo Mountain. To the southeast of Lindley Mountain, Arden Valley Road turns east and into the park. Arden Valley Road passes Lake Cohasset and Upper Lake Cohasset as it heads eastward. The road intersects with the Long Path and Ramapo–Dunderberg–Appalachian Trails soon afterward. Bradley Mine is visible to the left, and Arden Valley Road comes to an end at Tiorati Circle. The road continues eastward as Tiorati Brook Road.
Arden Valley Road also serves a trout stocking area for the Ramapo River.
