Traveling through Shrub lands, pastures,
old roads and several old homestead sites, the 5.5 mile Backbone Trail
is a relatively flat primitive trail and begins at the Backbone Horse
Campground.
To reach Backbone Trail from Watkins Glen New York turn right onto
NY 414 North, at the Forth Street intersection travel 9.0 miles north
past the Hector Ranger Station (on right). Turn right onto Schuyler
County Route 2 and continue 3.5 miles east. Backbone Campground is on
the left, opposite the intersection with Burnt Hill Road. |
