Nice trail. Well maintained. A few bumps at the south end but not bad. Mostly shaded with openings for scenery.
Traveling to Rush on Sep 13 for a day with some free time. I came across this trail on a search for riding opportunities in the area. Looking forward to riding. Thank you for all the reviews.
Pleasant shaded trail with on-street sections through town. Surface is mostly crushed stone, with some areas prone to washouts. In town signage could be better.
Rode round trip from Cato. Trail was better than I had hoped. Though there were a lot of puddles to go around, I enjoyed the ride. The scenery was beautiful with lots of wetlands and forest scenes. I would recommend the trail for biking as long as you are on a mountain bike or a fat tire bike.
Started south end E.Lake Rd, end at Freeville Station. Nice variety, rural, flat, good signage, well maintained (cut grass, lots of benches). 1/2 shade, 1/2 open - 1 mi of grass, single-track, mostly cinders. Traveled past wetlands & lake. We saw ducks, lots of birds, bald eagle, young doe in creek, beaver dams. Good ice cream shop in Dryden. Nice 15 mile ride! Visiting from PA.
Well maintained short walk in the city ending at Fort Ontario. Includes an historic rail bridge over the Oswego River with great views. Would be 5 stars except the tunnel mentioned in the description is closed with no evidence that it’s going to be reopened.
One of the nicest trails I’ve ridden.Fat tire e bike. parked at Dresden rode to Burkett Mills in Penn Yan Mid morning week day Packed gravel with a one track grassy section Probably 30 others using the trail in the whole 12 miles Mostly hikers fair number of strollers Most of the other bikes were road bikes so it cannot be that rough good view of the water most of the way There were a few spots that would be slippery when wet,but no serious mud only ting I would like is signage at the road crossing
This was an enjoyable trail a year ago with a natural grassed trail with flora and fauna along it's length. Now it is a gravel highway with trees and bushes dozed into a unsightely mess. Nothing pleasant about it anymore. I might as well ride on 590.
This is a great trail for a more or less level trail run. A decent bit of asphalt but way more gravel trail. Follow the blue blazes and you’ll run parallel to the Auburn trail which is way more fun - single track through the woods. There is a fun red blazed trail as well although it eventually gets cut off by an overgrown swampy area.
Rode the Catherine Valley Trail in September 2025. We began at the Tops grocery store in Watkins Glen and ended at a nice picnic area. The trail was mostly good shape except near the end where it was a little muddy and slippery. Nice trail would recommend.
Best part of our stop in Ithica. We enjoyed the trail. We started at Cass park and the reward was the beautiful Taughannock Falls. There were Ithica green deal bikes for rent at the trail head if you're in town without a bike.
