A state trails advocacy group has added a new trail-search feature to its Web site, letting hikers and bikers find multi-use trails across the state.

The TrailFinder feature launched on the Parks & Trails New York site focuses on trails and greenways that allow multiple uses, such as walking, bicycling, in-line skating, cross-country skiing and, in some cases, horseback riding and snowmobiling. TrailFinder includes 110 trails, many of them in the Capital Region and on the southern edge of the Adirondacks.

Visitors to TrailFinder are able to search for trails in several ways: They can select a trail from a drop-down menu, query by trail attributes such as length, surface, allowable uses, and distance from a particular location, or browse the interactive map.

Trailhead parking areas are included, as are directions and nearby bike shops and other amenities such as bicycle-friendly bed & breakfasts.

“I think people will be amazed at the extent of the multi-use trail system in New York,” said Robin Dropkin, executive director of Parks & Trails New York.

And she wouldn’t mind if those trails get more use, and that persuades more communities to establish trails.

“With New York’s abundance of abandoned railroads, historic canals, and scenic rivers, it’s possible to create a dynamic system of multi-use trails serving communities in every corner of the state,” she said.

Parks & Trails New York is a statewide not-for-profit organization working to create a network of parks, trails and open space across the state for the public to use and enjoy.
