Tonawanda Rails to Trails Trailhead (Sheridan to Colvin)

4 miles long trail. Starts from Englewood Ave and goes all the way to Tonawanda city. No motorised vehicles allowed on the trail. Trail closed from sunset to sunrise. If you start early morning you can see a few deers along the trail.

Wonderful city/inner suburb trail with all kinds of folks running, walking, cycling, skate boarding, etc. also likely to see deer and smaller critters.

This is an asphault paved trail, 8 feet wide in most places. A nearly straight shot between Tonawanda and North Buffalo. There are multiple grade level street crossings which you need to slow down for. The trail is not plowed in the winter. Despite the popularity of this trail drivers do not expect bicycles and in some places there isn't great visibility for traffic and at a few of the crossings traffic neither slows down nor gives the right of way to pedestrians or bicyclists in the crosswalk Especially the main road crossings. Use extreme caution!

What a wonderful trail and the residents of the Tonawandas are truly blessed. I’m from out of town and I don’t know where I first heard about the trail so after having breakfast at the donut shop I walked over to take a look and I was impressed. I did not walk or ride it because I did not have the time and my bike was back home in Pennsylvania but I wanted to. As a kid living on Woodland I remember the trains that used to pass through. This path is paved. The paths in my area are mostly gravel which makes a mess of my bike. I understand that there are plans to expand it.

Love this part of my everyday ride ,look forward to it each time I take my bike for a ride . If you haven't been through this trail make sure you do it soon , see you soon 🙂😉
