Schug Trail From Dryden To Dryden Lake Train Track Trail During Winter Snowstorm In Snowfog Stock Image

Dryden Lake, is a small, shallow lake created by a very old crib dam, and surrounded by a park, home to eagles, extensive wetland, and agricultural land. Despite the thick plant growth, it is popular with local shore anglers. The Jim Schug Trail is an excellent example of repurposing abandoned rail lines into multiuse trails. Hikers, cyclists, runners, and equestrians all share the broad and flat trail in summer while snowshoers and cross-country skiers take over in the winter. The majority of the trail is flanked by swamps, wetlands, and ponds with the more remote and wild portions bordering Dryden Lake Park to the north and south. Currently 4.2 miles long.
