Chautauqua County is home to many groomed and maintained scenic trails that wind through beautiful unused former rail corridors. Trails include wetlands, pine and hardwood forests, pastures and, of course, vineyards! Trails range from half-mile to five miles in length and provide ample opportunity for observing wildlife and plant life native to the region, or just moments of serenity away from busy lives.
