Rode a portion of this trail on Saturday, July 23. We had a difficult time finding access to it at the northern end. The directions weren't clear and the roads weren't marked well. The entrances around the gates are very narrow. In fact, I caught my light on the edge of one and took a fall down the edge of a ravine! Next time we'll try the Canandagua section.

Fall 2009 Two of us rode this trail in September 2009 and found it to be an excellent experience. Much of the trail is singletrack, with long sections of wide smooth cinder. The trail is well marked with quality bridges over the creeks and busy roads. Very narrow gates at the road intersections to keep out ATVs make for careful passage (I broke my mirror). In a few sections there are well marked detours around private property allowing for a ride of the entire 20+ miles.

There is now a parking lot in Stanley where the east-west and north-south sections of the trail meet. I rode north 2.5 miles to a bridge that was closed. Then I came back and rode west for about 4 miles. The only reason I stopped there is that the surface is grass all the way and I was getting pretty tired.
The scenery is nice and the trail is away from main roads and very quiet. It's a nice trail. I recommend a mountain bike because the surface is mostly grass and a little bumpy at times.
