If you’re a local this starts on N forest by Maple. Will take you all the out to Niagara Falls Blvd, right across from Elliott Creek Park as one of its branches. Cross the street and on either side of the creek you can take right down to the Niagara River¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
Went on a little exploration ride of this trail. It was a fine little trail system. I was on my fat bike and enjoyed it for what it was. Nothing spectacular but a cool little ride that was convenient location from my home in Webster.
Free parking can be found at a small park in Rennseller with toilets nearby,
Follow the RT 5 & 9 signs to the ped. bridge over the river which takes you directly onto the path. There are signs for the Mohawk / Hudson Bikeway.
The map is out of print but online. You will need to get off trail and ride on road for 4 miles before connection to the pathway. Side street at blue kiosk will take you to Cohos Falls (food nearby). About 12 miles to Falls.
My sons live near this and took me. It was a great ride during the pandemic to get a break from being indoors. Very well planned.
As a dog runner, I have been on most of the local paths. I avoid this one whenever possible. It is way too narrow with little room to pull my dog off to the side when other dogs are approaching. There’s also a lot of dog poop not picked up along the edges, which is ridiculous since they provide bags.
Buffalo can get a bad rap, but this is nice trail along the shoreline and then into town. We did it Labor Day on a perfect day and could not believe how nice Buffalo has been upgraded. Obviously you got to catch good weather which can be a challenge there, but was worth the ride.
I used to love running this trail as it is in my neighborhood. They closed it to lay some pipe and I doubt it will open again until some time next year. Hopefully the don't ruin the surface of it by using the large gravel they placed along the sides.
This awesome trail starts at the tennis courts inside a subdivision. It is a little hard to find but so worth it. The beginning of the path is like taking a hike through the words (but with asphalt). It is so beautiful. You do have to cross some street then and the path takes you over by the gorge. The path is curvy and goes by lovely houses. At some points you have to go into the street by Youngstown. At that point you can ride into Ft. Niagara and enjoy the park. This is such a lovely ride and not very busy.
Rode one way approx 7 miles starting in Amsterdam. While pedaling under the thruway overpass, it smelled like feces/urine. This area has an abandoned building and an adjacent overgrown wareyard with debris piles, junk and very weedy. Approx 1/3 mile past the overpass we stopped to look at map and weather app (the clouds were looking ominous) and I see a large man riding toward us (up until that point we saw no-one else on the trail). As he passed us grunting and snarling at us, I noticed he was filthy with dirty hair and face. He rode past us and less than 30 seconds later when I looked down the trail, he had disappeared into the brush (this is a straightaway section - you can see a long way). We turned around and within 10 minutes the downpour was upon us. We were soaked when we arrived back in am-dam.
My advice: do not pedal this section by the overpass alone. This man had no good reason to pursue us, then growl/grunt when passing us and then disappear back into the brush. If I had been solo riding, I can only speculate on a different outcome. He is living under/by the overpass. We apparently pedaled thru his "area".
Great surface! Connect from I 390 trail to go from Greece to Lake Ontaio pier. We enjoyed.
Bring your mountain bike or go slow 12 - 14 mph on road bike. The trail is scenic and a great way to safely ride from Greece to Lake Ontario. Near the north end pick up the Lake Ontario Parkway Trail and ride to the pier at Port Rochester
