Empire State Trail The Empire State Trail is a 750 mi multi-use trail that was proposed by Governor Andrew Cuomo in January 2017. The trail would run from Buffalo down to Manhattan and also to the northern tip of Lake Champlain. The trail will connect to other regional bicycling and hiking trails such as the Hudson River Valley Greenway, Appalachian Trail, the Adirondack and Catskill Parks, the Great Lakes Seaway Trail, the Genesee Valley Greenway, and others. The trail will be used for hiking, biking snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and in some areas snowmobiling. The trail is to be completed by 2020.
