Dust Off Your Walking Shoes, And Oil Your Bicycle Gears ~ Walden Rail Trail in Walden NY is Nearing Completion

The long awaited Walden Rail Trail, set to become available fall 2008, should prove popular with a wide variety of outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking and biking are obvious uses for the trail, but this trail will also be handicapped accessible, so no one will be denied a rewarding experience.

Walden Rail Trail should prove well worth its $1.5 million price tag. 3 ½ mile in length, the paved trail begins at Walden's Wooster Grove Park Recreation Building, parallels Route 52 for a stretch, curves north along the railroad path, and ultimately connects to the Hamlet of Wallkill.

Walden Rail Trail was seven long years in the making, and there were time its completing was in question, but through the efforts of many individuals a successful end is finally in sight. Walden Rail Trail is truly a community effort, and all those involved should be applauded for their efforts and proud of their accomplishment.

Rosario - That is really terrific news. Members of the community make good use of these trails, the Hudson valley is fortunate to have several Rail trails.

Can't wait for this! I tried to ride a section of the trail a couple years ago and it was so overgrown that it was impossible. I usually ride the one in New Paltz - it will be nice to have one close to home.
