A beautiful paved trail that runs along the Black River and has stunning fall colors, between Black River and Watertown. The majority of the trail is estimated to be in the mostly gentle grade category (5% or less).

This trail will likely be navigable for most wheelchairs/mobility equipment or stroller users. There are benches and picnic tables along the route for resting.
