Charlie Major Nature Trail
The Charlie Major Nature Trail
The Charlie Major Nature Trail follows an abandoned right-of-way that once carried trains along the old Skaneateles Short Line Railroad. The railroad served millworks in the area, including paper mills, grist mills, distilleries, and woodworking mills, which were powered by Skaneateles Creek.
The trail runs for just longer than 1 mile between Mill Road just north of Old Seneca Turnpike and Crow Hill Road in Mottville. The pretty little trail crosses the creek via three wooden bridges and meanders through a forested corridor. Along the way you'll see remains of the railroad, dams, and millworks buildings.
Near the Crow Hill Road bridge on the Mottville end is a nice place to have a picnic along the creek. There is also a playground at the Mottville trailhead.
This is a CARRY-IN CARRY-OUT Nature Trail. 
DO NOT LITTER - Please take any and all trash with you, this includes dog waste.
ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH
***Please DO NOT throw bagged dog waste into the woods.


Parking and Trail Access
Parking is available at both ends: in Mottville at Crow Hill Road and Frost Street; north of Skaneateles around 4144 Mill Road (Old Seneca Turnpike)
