Gravel Trails in the Finger Lakes
This is a growing list. If you have any suggestions, let us know. The trails are roughly listed from East to West. Many of these are old rail beds that have been converted to gravel trails.
Erie Canal Trail: Port Byron - Heading East
Erie Canal Trail: Lyons - Heading East
Sampson State Park
Bishop Nature Preserve
This is a multi-use area in Cayuga County with 14 miles of trails, about an hour from Geneva. The forest is about 3500 acres with a variety of trails, many of which are rideable, but not necessarily labeled as such on the map. This is a very good place for intermediate riders. There are not a lot of overly technical parts of trails, but many are fast and flowy. We suggest parking at the south end of the forest.
