Ontario Pathways, New York - Walk Ride U.S.A.
The Ontario Pathways are a set of 23.3 mile long unpaved pathways located to the southeast of Rochester in Upstate New York. The trails were constructed along an abandoned rail road right-of-way and go through the farmlands and woodlands of beautiful Upstate New York.
