Tompkins Priority Trails Strategy: 2023 Update

When completed, this network will form more than 120 miles of continuously connected trail in Tompkins County, with 51 miles on connected multi-use paths and 69 miles on the pedestrian-only Finger Lakes Trail.

 

The priority trails in this Strategy are a subset of the larger trail network in Tompkins County and represent the key components needed to advance implementation of the envisioned countywide multi-use trail network. This document includes descriptions, parties involved, current status/recent accomplishments, action items, and future phases for the following priority trails:
• Dryden Rail Trail
• South Hill Recreation Way Extension
• Black Diamond Trail: Extension to Trumansburg and Connection between Buttermilk and Robert H. Treman State Parks
• Urban Connectors
• Finger Lakes Trail

While this Strategy does not list all trails in the county, Ithacatrails.org (linked above), is a great resource that provides a comprehensive overview of other trails in the county.
