The Railroad Bed Trail is a rustic recreational path sited on the right of way of an abandoned railroad that once extended between Rochester and Nunda. The route takes users through serene forest and scenic farmland. The trail is welcoming to hikers and equestrians and is open from dawn to dusk.
There is no dedicated parking for this trail.
I walked this trail in a Saturday morning on a holiday weekend and was surprised to find myself alone. It was calm and beautiful. Only a few dips and overgrown branches, overall very well taken care of. A bit more horse manure than I prefer, but it is an equestrian trail as well, so not unexpected. I will absolutely be back.
This is a great trail with some history associated with it. The AllTrails route does the loop counter-clockwise,but this means you have the hike with a rocky uphill slog. If you do it the other way clockwise, you go down the rocky section first, then fish off by following the low- gradient railroad bed in the uphill direction. Either way definitely have your hiking boots because it is so rocky! The natural spring is a true gem
