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.
