The current western terminus of the trail in Schenectady County is in the Town of Rotterdam. A connection from this point west to the existing Canalway trail
in Montgomery County is expected to be completed in 2006. Within the Town of Rotterdam the trail is primarily off-road with the exception of a short on-road
portion along State Route 5S from Woestina Street to Scrafford Lane. Currently the connection from Scrafford Lane to the off-road trail is not accessible due
to potential safety hazards posed by crosssing active railroad tracks. East of Scrafford Lane the trail remains off-road through the Town of Rotterdam. The
trail is accessible from the Town of Glenville via the State Route 890 Bridge over the Mohawk River. At Collins Park in the Village of Scotia a portion of offroad trail exists north of the Mohawk River.
