The Official Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Guidebook: New York

Author: Craig Della Penna and Tom Sexton
Paperback, 228 pages
Published by The Globe Pequot Press

The Rails-to Trails Conservancy is the largest trails organization in the country and the only one devoted to converting unused railroad lines to multi-use trails. Since 1986, the Conservancy’s mission of reconnecting America with rail-trails has been taking shape all across the country. Today, more than 11,000 miles of rail-trails are open to the public.

This is your comprehensive guide to walking, jogging, skating, and biking New York's rail-trail system. Inside you'll find:

  • Thirty-nine of the region's most popular rural and urban rail-trails
  • Full trail profiles, including length, access points, and surface type
  • Detailed trail maps
  • Availability of parking, rest rooms, and places to stay and eat along the trail.

    "A wonderful and long overdue guide that uncovers New York's special and hidden places. New York trail users will love this practical and entertaining guide, regardless of their mode of travel."

    --Anne O'Dell, Author of Ride New York: 35 Horse and Multiple-Use Trails in the Empire State, and former chair of the New York State Trails Council

    "There aren't better spokespersons for the rails-to-trails movement than Craig Della Penna and Tom Sexton. They help you feel the magnetic pull of New York's rail and canal trails as they carefully reveal their history, their beauty and their many hidden secrets….There isn't a better guide than this one to set you on your way."

    --Betsy Russell, Founder, Ontario Pathways

    "I'll never look at a rail trail the same way again! Coupled with fascinating local histories, precise directions, and…extensive knowledge of the natural world, this is an indispensable resource for those who want a rewarding learning experience while enjoying the scenic beauty of New York State."

    --Fran Gotcsik, Executive Director of the Friends of the Genesee Valley Greenway

    "The accurate maps and interesting text make it easy for people to enjoy the extraordinary greenway and rail-trail system in New York."

    --New York Parks & Conservation Association
