Western New York Outdoors
A Parks and Recreation Guide to locations for
outdoor adventures in WNY.
Rail Trails
Multi-use Trails in the Town of
Chautauqua, Chautauqua County.
Description:
The Chautauqua Rails-to-Trails is an 18 mile long network of several trails.
There are five popular trails used for outdoor recreational activities such as
hiking, biking, cross country skiing and horseback riding. The former rail
corridors offer current visitors an opportunity to enjoy a pleasant countryside
journey. This scenic public access also offers views of wildlife, forests
and plants.
The Ralph C. Sheldon Trail is six miles long and runs from Titus Road north to
Summerdale Road. You will travel thru wetlands that are a great waterfowl
habitat.
The Nancy B. Diggs Trail is only a mile long and runs near Route 430, from Hannum
Road to Bentley Road, south of Mayville. This is near the Chautauqua Gorge
area.
The Paul and Nadine Webb Trail is two miles long and runs from Route 430 to
Route 494, south of Mayville. The old rail grade then follows along
Chautauqua Lake.
The Laurie Baer Trail is only a mile long and runs from Plank Road to Bliss
Road. A section of this trail is on Niagara Mohawk land.
The Alison Wells Ney Nature Trail is five miles long and runs from Prospect
Station Road to Thayer Road. You will pass thru the towns of Sherman and
Portland.
