For Rochester locals, the Erie Canal Path is one of “the” places to go biking, running, and hiking. I even knew some kids who would hitch up their dog to a sled and go for a ride on the canal…
Biking the Catharine Valley Trail
One day at the library, I got out a book about hikes and rail trails in western New York State. There were quite a few great trails there (including many I’d hiked or biked before), but one that intrigued me…
Clarence Pathways – Paved Rails-to-Trails
A few weeks ago, I got to ride a “new” (to me) bike path in western New York State! (I almost hate to call it in the Finger Lakes, since it’s so far west, but it could still be classified…

How about a peaceful bike ride on an old railroad bed? What about one that also follows an old canal, complete with crumbling locks? And then how about that same rails-to-trails ending you up in one of the most scenic…
