Walking Along the Tahawas Railroad Tracks ...

I had to think what an asset that they would be if they took up the tracks and turned it into a bike way, similar to the Adirondack Rail Trail. While in theory thei owner wants the ability to mine Tahawas again, it seems they are essentially abandoned and overgrown, though it looks like they were trimmed back a few years back. The Boreas River runs right along this section of track, and would have some great views if it was bicycable in summer and in winter open to snowmobiles without the danger of the trackage.
