EMPIRE STATE TRAIL MAP

There are many online maps for planning your trip along the Empire State Trail. The amazing part about the Empire State Trail is it is comprised of three larger trail systems, the Hudson Valley Greenway Trail, the Erie Canalway Trail, and the Champlain Valley Trail.

Each of these is then broken into smaller but connected trails including rail to trail networks, many with individual trail maps highlighting unique local attractions.

WHY DO I NEED A HARDCOPY OPTION?

However, did you know there is also a HARDCOPY map available?

Why might you need a hardcopy map? Well, as good as mobile internet service has become, there is still always a chance a slow or nonexistent connection could strike when you need directions most. Additionally, your phone battery may die on during a long day on the trail, rendering your digital map useless.
