Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Started at the end of 7 Mile road and went to Kane trail head this time. Last time went towards De Young. Both times the trail is nice and smooth, shaded most of the way, and very peaceful.

Tidioute Riverside RecTrek Trail

nice walking trail

June, 2026 by melgraves70

The trail is a nice walk and mostly in the shade. Great for walking but not for biking. There are a lot of tree roots. Great place to walk your dogs.

Genesee Valley Greenway

Awesome Trail, do not attempt unprepared.

February, 2026 by ajsavitsky

I love this trail. There's a trailhead right down the street from where I go to school up in Rochester, and it makes for a great endurance ride on a late summer or early fall day. Typically, I'll pick up the trail head and ride south down to Wadsworth Junction, where I can then pick up the Lehigh Valley trail. Generally speaking I have nothing bad to say about this trail. It's pretty well maintained, has some beautiful scenery, and a lot of cool history scattered throughout. However, a word of caution: It was the Sunday before Columbus day, I had some time to kill, and I decided I wanted to take the trail down to the Junction point in Piffard (Not the same as Pittsford). At this point in time, I hadn't gone anywhere past Wadsworth junction yet, so I was pretty much riding blind. As I got further south past Wadsworth, the terrain got significantly more sketchy. Trenches, muddy conditions, and A LOT of hedge apples. Not to mention the sheer amount of leaves that had fallen making it hard to plot a line ahead. Against all odds, I made it to my destination, and back in one piece, having only wiped out once. The moral of this story is, while the trail is awesome, do not attempt with out proper preparation. If you're like me, and you like to ride a gravel setup for versatility, be warned that standard gravel tires are probably not enough for the southern part of this trail specifically, and you might want to swap them for something more grippy (e.g. a cx tire) if you plan on going further. Great trail! Ride with caution.

Springville Pop Warner Rail Trail

Too rough to ride

October, 2025 by davidmbapst

Trail has high potential but needs a lot of work. Large stones make it mostly unrideable and almost dangerous to walk. Mostly used as snowmobile trail in winter.

West Creek Recreational Trail

Very nice trail!

September, 2025 by hartt20

Rode out 11 miles from Emporium toward St. Mary's (~22 miles RT). Beautiful scenery once you get out town. Several interpretive signs explaining the environment and history of the area. The trail is surface is mostly packed crush stone and is well maintained. Would definitely do this one again.

Corry Junction Greenway Trail

Awesome

August, 2025 by tylerheslink5

Everything south of Simmons road is spectacular. North of Simmons rd however has very minimal maintenance and do not recommend.

Clarion-Little Toby Trail

Nice Trail- has some deep water holes

July, 2025 by carebare552

This trail goes through state game lands, is mostly shady and parallels an active railway. The active railway portion has some deep mudholes. It would be wise to start at Ridgeway as it is uphill to Brockway.

A shady path for a heat intensive day!

Knox & Kane Rail Trail

Knox Kane Trail

July, 2025 by carebare552

Started at Kane. The trail was unmaintained after mile 4.7. I then went to the Kinzua bridge state park and rode to 219. A nice trail

Corry Junction Greenway Trail

Poor maintenance in NY

June, 2025 by thejenni.girl

The PA portion is a decent greenway. The instant you cross into NY you see evidence of vandalism, 4-wheelers nearly run you over (they don’t slow down), multiple rotting deer carcasses dumped on the trail, piles of garbage, horrendous ruts & puddles from ATVs and my personal favorite: 2 young Amish having sex in the middle of the path. it was not the experience I was expecting at all! Do better New York!

Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail

Great trail

November, 2024 by mzkzps6zjk

I have hiked several sections of the trail. Parts are still ungroomed while others are packed stone. The Orchard Park strip has parking at the old train station and is packed stone for biking or hiking. Beyond Jewitt Holmwood the trail is the old rail bed and is a bit rough in spots but still a beautiful and easy hike.

Blaisdell-Emery Trail

Rail 66 Country Trail

What a gem!

September, 2024 by seicats

Beautiful scenery with no hills. Would highly recommend starting out at Farmington Township Park heading North (left) on trail for about 13 miles to have lunch at Bettina’ Italian Restaurant in Marienville. Perfect stopping point and best Italian food ever!
