Paulinskill Valley Trail Map 8 / Paulinskill Valley Trail 2.010 User Survey
Qualitative Values of the Paulinskill Valley Trail The best way to summarize the qualitative values of the Paulinskill Valley Trail is to let trail users describe how they feel about their experience. The following are verbatim comments taken from the 2010 Paulinskill Valley Trail User Survey forms. The trail is one to the greatest assets to my area & I treasure it!!! Love this trail. Don’t know where I would run without it! What a great idea converting these RR’s to rail trails! The P-skill is a beautiful bike ride from one end to the other! And a lot safer than riding on roads! More benches or seating along the trail would be helpful. We purchased our property 10+ yrs ago so we could live right on the trail. We hike & bike many times several times a day. We have purchased extra bikes to accommodate friends/family visitors. Add markers to indicate mileage, also a bench or two would be nice. Horse riders should clean up droppings! Trail could use some maintenance. Also enjoy horseback riding on trail. I love walking my dog on the trail. My 7 yr. old son rides his bike along with us. We can’t wait to go on the trail again! Totally enjoy the beauty and solitude of the trail. Need mileage markers — Horse riders clean up after horses. This trail was a major draw for me to move back to the area. Truly one of the finest parts of the state. Need more signs as to yielding to bike, joggers, horses. Needs a lot of work on the western end of the trail! Too many horses on weekends!! They leave a mess too. We love living in an area with easy access to the trail. We have tried to walk the entire trail in segments. This is the greatest trail — finding the order of the trail from beginning to end with places to park cars — the map overlaps are confusing — one clear map with clearly marked segments showing parking and mileage between segments is needed very badly. The trails are a community treasure. Rails-to-Trails Conservancy / 9
