Ontario Pathways Rail Trail

Bridge over Route 5 & 20

Ontario Pathways Rail Trail is a hiking and cycling trail located in Ontario County, New York. The total trail mileage is 23 with pathways branching in two directions. The trail connects Canandaigua, Stanley, and Phelps. [1] In addition to the main hiking and cycling trails, Ontario Pathways includes four loop trails.

The two main pathways of the trail were built over a pair of former Pennsylvania Railroad lines. The trail was severed in June 2010 when an incident involving a piece of agricultural machinery took out a railroad bridge over routes 5 & 20; this was later replaced in 2013 with a simple arched pedestrian bridge.[2]
