MapMondays! New York State's proposed Empire State Trail, stretching from NYC to Canada via Buffalo and Champlain, NY. Governor Cuomo, who announced the ambitious proposal this past August, says the trail will be completed in 2020 creating a 750-mile trail bike and walking pathway using existing trails including the Hudson River Valley Greenway Trail and the Erie Canalway Trail and constructing new trails. Currently, the Hudson River Greenway, which connects the Battery with Lake George is 50 percent complete and the Erie Canalway, which connects Albany and Buffalo and is 80 percent complete. To complete the trail by 2020 an additional 350 miles of new trails will need to be built. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MapMonday #EmpireStateTrail #HudsonRiverGreenway (at Hudson River Greenway)
