Greenways & Rail-Trails NY
Imagine going out your front door and within a few minutes being on a trail that leads through your community. You pass shops and restaurants on your way to work, school, or a local park. By taking a turn and going farther, you might follow the trail into the countryside, or link with another trial that extends along a river to the next town, or into the mountains, or all the way across the state.
This vision is driving a groundswell of community trail building throughout New York State. There are already have more than 800 miles of multi-use community trails where you can bike, walk, run, cross country ski, and sometimes also ride horses or snowmobiles.
