New York, NY

How would you like to walk from New York City to Canada on the Empire State Trail? It’s not for the indoor types, but adventurers will love this summer destination.

The state recently introduced the Empire State Trail. It’s a 750-mile, T-shaped trail that runs throughout New York state and connects its populous southern areas with the Canadian border. Pack up your camping gear and sleep a few nights under the stars if you’re outdoorsy!

The trail builds on a network of existing pathways and is open to hikers, bikers, and the adventurous.

It wanders through cities, small village main streets, rural communities, and other Hudson River Valley, Erie Canalway, and Adirondacks landscapes. As an added bonus, you can check out the MANY microbreweries along this summer destination!
