An environmental group is working to create a roughly 400-mile trail connecting New York’s Adirondack State Park with Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario.
According to an article on GananoqueReporter.com, the group Algonquin to Adirondacks Collaborative says the nature trail would initially follow existing trails, roads and public right-of-ways.

The group envisions the trail as one where people could walk, bicycle on some sections, snowshoe, ski and maybe even paddle in places. At the beginning, the travelers might have to share some trails with snowmobiles and ATVs, but group officials say their aim is to eventually have a non-motorized vehicle route.
Group officials say they’d like to see portions of the trail opened this year, but expect the entire trail to take years to complete.
