Multiuse Path in Town of Wheatfield Fills Key Gap in Recreational Trail Stretching From Lake Erie to Lake Ontario
Project Funded With $2.5 Million From New York State Department of Transportation
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the opening of a new, 2.5-mile, multiuse path in the Town of Wheatfield, Niagara County, that closes one of the last remaining gaps in the scenic Niagara River Shoreline Trail, making it easier for residents and visitors alike to explore the region’s natural treasures by bike or on foot. The $4.3 million project provides walkers, joggers and bicyclists with a protected pathway that runs through a forested former railroad property and connects to existing trail sections in the City of North Tonawanda and the City of Niagara Falls. The New York State Department of Transportation provided $2.5 million to help fund the creation of this new trail segment.
