Ridge Trail
The Ridge Trail at Newton Battlefield State Park near Elmira, New York is a moderate 0.6-mile one-way trail that connects the replica Native American Village to the main parking area and features a peaceful forest setting.Hike Description
This hike begins at the replica Native American Village in the north section of the park and follows the Ridge Trail as it meanders its way through the northeastern side of the park.
