"The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently shared a big announcement: New York's latest rail trail project has been completed and now is open for residents to enjoy. Rail trails are synonymous with the Hudson Valley and upstate New York. From the famous Rosendale trestle on the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail (below) to the Hudson Valley Rail Trail that includes the longest pedestrian footbridge in the world, long-abandoned train tracks seem to make some of the best walking and biking paths"
"Construction on the newest rail trail, which cuts a 34-mile path through the scenic Adirondacks, began in 2023. Called the Adirondack Rail Trail, a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony officially declared the project completed and open to the public (below). Where Is the New Adirondack Rail Trail? The Adirondack Rail Trail connects Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, and Tupper Lake communities, with many other stops in between for rail trail travelers. The trail map (below) shows available parking lots, nearby campgrounds, and more."
New York completed a 34-mile Adirondack Rail Trail connecting Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, and Tupper Lake, with construction beginning in 2023 and a recent ribbon-cutting marking its opening. Rail trails across the Hudson Valley and upstate repurpose abandoned rail lines into walking and biking corridors, including landmarks like the Rosendale Trestle and the Hudson Valley Rail Trail's long pedestrian footbridge. The Adirondack route includes parking, nearby campgrounds, and multiple stops for travelers. Recent local trail projects include a new 2-mile trail in Warwick, and growing trail networks offer both casual recreation and access to more challenging mountain hikes.
