The Empire State Trail
About
The Empire State Trail is a statewide route for walkers and cyclists, and one stretch of it passes through Madison County. Along the way it links village streets, historic canal paths and quiet rural stretches, so the scenery changes from one segment to the next.
Because it is a long trail made of many pieces, most people pick a short section instead of trying to cover it all. Official maps make it easy to match a segment to your pace, your interests and the time you have for a stroll or a longer ride.
