We are following the guidance of NYS Parks by discontinuing our walks and tours until we can once more be sure that we can safely offer events on the trail. The Aqueduct trail is still available for personal use and enjoyment, consistent with whatever the current health advisories are at the time. We are especially lucky to have the trail readily at foot during this time.
