Portapotty at Desmore Rd, east of AlbionAnd others not shown
This is a beautiful trail ! Lots of historical Rail Road stuff to discover, beautiful scenery, generally a smooth ride.
We only made the Phelps to Stanley segment, but plan on completing it soon.
Nice trail. Well maintained. A few bumps at the south end but not bad. Mostly shaded with openings for scenery.
The Kirkland trail is great for running and walking. Wooded trail with nice views of streams and nearby farms at points. There is a parking area at Dugway road.
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.
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
Great addition to the trails in Norwich NY within walking distance of city residents. Great for pets and bikes too.
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.
