KML Maps: The Link Trail
About The Link Trail ....
The initial purpose behind establishing the Link Trail was to provide a connection between the Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) and the Old Erie Canal Trail. Situated to the east of Syracuse, NY, the Link Trail traverses Madison County in a north-south direction. Presently, the trail spans 40.3 miles; however, certain segments are still in the process of being developed. It's worth noting that this distance incorporates some stretches along roads, excluding a 2.1-mile segment that leads to a dead end.
