New York State Bike Trails

New York State is very diverse: "Downstate" is identified with New York City and its suburbs; "Upstate" is very scenic with mountains and rivers to explore. An exciting initiative is the Empire State Trail - connecting existing traIls, a continuous 750-mile route from New York City to Canada, and from Albany to Buffalo.
