The most mysterious section of the Empire State Trail: the Champlain Valley Trail is closing out our “Sections of the Trail series! But beware: experienced bikers only ⚠️

With 199 miles in length — and nearly all of it on-road alongside highways and the Adirondack mountains ⛰️, the Champlain Valley Trail is a challenging yet rewarding venture from Albany up to the Canadian border. 🚴🇨🇦

Prepare for canalways, beautiful bridges, small towns, and lots of vehicle traffic — with your final destination across the border! And make sure to at least consider Amtrak for one of the Trail segments, and experienced bikers have noted this section is dangerous for biking (see slide 5). 🛑
