Duchess County has completed and opened the HVRT Millerton to Under Mt. Rd. section, about 11 miles of new trail.
I'm happy yet will likely still use the roads that were the alternative, which is a very nice ride with great views
HVRT-Millerton to Under Mountain Rd sections now open – Harlem Valley Rail Trail

Was up there in Sept, before just that last 1-2 miles above Millerton was officially open. It's very good, and we particularly enjoyed the area of elevated bridging over the wetland areas. Very pretty and very different feel compared to the section from Millerton down to Wassaic. But yeah, that section from Rudd Pond up via the county and local roads is great.

I've done south from Millerton during a tour. Camped at Rudd Pond the night before. Very nice trail.

I rode the Hudson Valley Rail Trail the day it opened. My wife and I were at the press conference and ribbon-cutting and got a free decal. 'So glad to see that it finally leads somewhere, after years of hearing about barely newsworthy extensions. In 2019, we rode the section that includes the Walkway Over The Hudson. Nice ride.
