Description:
All the trails are presently grassy. They are handicapped accessible but rough. Bicycling along the trail is very popular, and some people use street bikes and do well, though there are a few stretches where ballast is still on top. We have a project in the mill to surface the trail in the Village of Brocton with crushed limestone.

Parking & Trail Access:
There are parking facilities at various places along the trail and are mentioned in the individual trail writeups. No snow is plowed, so parking in the winter can be difficult at times. No parking fees are charged, and most parking areas cannot handle horse trailers.

Good trail near Mayville

I entered this trail where it intersects 430/Chautauqua St., and ran North on the trail to Fish Rd. Nice trail for a run. Scattered gravel in some places is a little uncomfortable underfoot. There didn't seem to be a parking area on 430 (or at any of the other roads the trail intersects), but I didn't have any problems leaving my car on the side of the road. This trail and others nearby make up part of an extensive snowmobile trail network, check the Chautauqua Snowmobile Club if you're looking for other similar trails in the area.

Ditto last reviews re' absence of marking to find the Sherman trailhead. We did find an old-timer with local knowledge so we finally found the very small parking area.

While reviewing the trail map we were attacked by a swarm of stinging bees so decided that we weren't
in the mood any longer. The stings were painful!

We opted not to try to ride the path this day.

"It appears not much has changed since the reviewer's comments in 2003. The trail markings are very poor and the trail is extremely difficult to find. We found one entrance, but not having a mountain bike didn't enter.
This isn't like Rails to Trails that I've seen in any other states."
