Stone Bridge Trail, Leland Path, Kinstone Path 1-29-12

A three-for-one day. Got to walk on three seperate trails. We started on the Stone Bridge Trail entering at the Elevator Road access point headed south. When we got to the Leland Path, we headed west and then north on it up to the corner of Main Street and Elevator Road where we took caught the Kinstone Recreational Trail. We took that back to the Stone Bridge Trail and then back to the Jeep. We parked up the street at a mall. Total length according to Base Camp was 3.6 miles. Took us 97 minutes.

We previously hiked the Stone Bridge Trail its entire length. No snow then. It is a nice trail, with some good scenery. We have seen the two paths before but not walked them yet.

We were also on the Hononegah Path for about 100 feet from the end of the Leland Path to the start of the Kinstone Path, so maybe it is a four-for-one.

Most of the Leland Path is either residential or retail. The local merchants apparently appreciate the Leland Path that goes by. The path had been plowed AND salted. There was still some ice and snow, but it was mostly bare pavement.

Trail head at Elevator Road and Main Street where the Hononegah, Leland, and Kinstone Paths converge.

It was hard to tell for sure due to the snow but it appeared that some of the Kinstone Recreational Path was paved and some of it was gravel. The Kinstone Path is mostly tree lined, and follows along the creek most of its length.
