The Peanut Line Trail runs along a former railroad right-of-way in the Town of Canandaigua. What originated as the Canandaigua & Niagara Falls Railroad was acquired by the New York Central Railroad in 1855 and this grassy path is the only preserved section of this former historic right-of-way in the Town of Canandaigua.
The source of the nickname "Peanut Line Trail" has different versions, but the prevailing story says that a previous vice president of the New York Central Railroad referred it as “only a peanut of a line” after hearing that the workers building the branch line had gone on strike.
There is no designated parking available for this trail.
Very short walk but very even, no hills. Bring bug spray! Also Cooley road entry is very hard to see with car, be careful! I recommend parking on the opposite road.
