The state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has acquired the 12.1-mile Pat McGee Trail in Cattaraugus County.
Connecting the city of Salamanca and village of Cattaraugus, the multi-use trail along a former rail bed has connections with the current Finger Lakes Trail and the North Country Trail, which provide links to Allegany State Park in New York State and Allegany National Forest in Pennsylvania.
“This acquisition protects the Pat McGee Trail from any potential for future development, and strengthens the existing greenway network in that region,” said Erik Kulleseid, state parks commissioner. “It guarantees continued public use of the trail and advances the goals of both the statewide Greenway Trails Plan and statewide Open Space Plan, which identified the Pat McGee Trail for public use.”
