Rome Sentinel: Kirkland Trails NY receives permit to begin development of trail system
The Kirkland Trails NY committee has now received a permit from the state to go ahead and develop the historic Chenango Canal Trail for recreational use following an effort that’s taken close to a year.
Crews from the Town of Kirkland Highway Department will soon be out mowing and leveling the 2.5 mile trail to prepare it to eventually be covered by stone dust.
“We’re very excited we got the permit,” said Sharon Williams, president of the Kirkland Trails Board of Directors.

New logo and brochure designed by Clinton HS Student!
Kim Blum is graduating Clinton High School in 2019. She will be pursuing Graphic Design at SUNY New Paltz. Designing the Kirkland Trails logo, as well as the brochure, was the perfect opportunity for her to showcase her work and gain experience. Her goal was to create a clean and simple logo that incorporates the important aspects of nature found on a trail. Kirkland Trails thanks Kim for her hard work and dedication to this project!!
