The Empire State Trail can be broken down into three separate sections: Hudson Valley, Erie Canal Trail and Champlain Canalway. Among those are sub-sectional paths, nearly all costing in the millions to construct — the most expensive being the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail, a $45 million venture that spans 36 miles following the historic route of the electric trolley system from the early 1900s. The entire trail includes activities outside of biking, such as overnight camping sites and access to cultural attractions. It is estimated it will bring in 8.6 million residents and tourists annually, which will hopefully give the state an economic boost post-COVID recovery.
