Description
The O&W in Mamakating is part of a system of intersecting trails that have been developed along former rail lines and canal towpaths. Stretching from the Orange County border at the bottom of the Bashakill Wildlife Management Area up to the residential hamlets of Summitville and Phillipsport, surface conditions vary, making these 14.1 miles of trail mainly suitable for hikers, runners, and mountain bicyclists. At the center is the Village of Wurtsboro, with main street restaurants, shops, and amenities. https://sullivanoandw.com/mamakating/
