Who owns what and who can walk where and why? Look at what happened in the 1930s in England with a group of people who said 'it's our right to ramble' -- The Kinder Trespass which led to the establishment of national parks, trails and access to nature all over the UK.
We've got our own great trails nearby including the escarpment-hugging Bruce Trail from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Tobermory. Another fave, New York's Genesee Valley Greenway from Rochester to the Southern Tier.
It often seems as though there are more trails, bikepaths, etc. in Ontario, Canada around L. Ontario than on the US side. Although, the new multi-use trail along the L. Ontario State Parkway starting at Island Cottage to Sea Breeze along Durand-Eastman Park with connections to the 390 South cycling trail and the Genesee River Trail is an impressive start. We still need more cycling trails -- especially west to connect with the Robert Moses trail along the Niagara River, still under development through the Niagara River Greenway, to Canada at Rainbow Bridge and beyond. -- posted by Barbara
