Nice views of the river
By RussNelson in October, 2008
This trail folows the Lehigh Valley Elmira and Cortland Branch through a pretty gorge with nice views of the river. You start one block north of downtown Cazenovia at the train station, and go up to Chittenango Falls (the effective end of the Gorge Trail). About halfway up are some pretty ruins (on posted property -- stay off) between the trail and the river. Somewhere prior to Chittenango Falls is the official end of the Gorge Trail, but the signage permits you to bicycle to the Falls. Beyond that the trail is closed so that only hikers can use it (and there's no trailhead nor any evidence that hikers actually use it.)
