Horseback riding guide · River Road near Caledonia through Rush to Victor, Western NY
View photosPlan your ride
Explore the Lehigh Valley Trail in two RTR podcast chapters: an equestrian outing from River Road toward Rush, then a later on-foot report from Rush toward Victor.
- Distance & routes
- Part 1 covered about 5 miles from River Road in Caledonia toward Rush. Part 2 continued from Rush toward Victor; confirm your chosen route and turnaround distance.
- Footing & terrain
- The original podcast reports describe a long, mostly level rail trail, with narrower or overgrown sections in the first part and long straight stretches in the second.
- Access & seasons
- Part 2 was explored on foot, so do not treat that episode as confirmation of horse access on every segment. Verify current equestrian permissions, crossings, surface conditions and trailer parking with the trail manager before publishing.
