The Richmond Aqueduct Trail is now a part of a 30-trail system program that was coordinated by a partnership with Wayne County Trails Works, Inc. villages and towns, and the Cornell Cooperative Extension Service Eat Well Play Hard Coalition and sponsored by Wegmans. You are invited to explore the region and the diverse outdoor adventures in your own backyard!
A new Wegmans Hit the Trails smartphone App was released in celebration of National Trails Day, June 2, 2018. The new app is now available at itunes or Google Play. It includes directions, maps, photos, videos and information about each site. Search for it by entering “Hit the Trails.” On the Richmond Aqueduct Trail link in the app you will find a video virtual tour of the Richmond Aqueduct site narrated by Mike Riley.
How it works:
- Pick up a Passport book located in one of the kiosk sign-in boxes located in Montezuma Heritage Park at the trailheads on Chapman Road or High Street. Hit the Trail #2 to the Richmond Aqueduct where the marker is located. Rub the trail marker in your passport book. Then head out to visit the other 29 trails in Wayne County.
- The program runs continuously. In order to enter for a chance to win a $250 Wegmans gift card, you need to complete 15 of the 30 trails in the booklet, and bring it to Cornell Cooperative Extension on Rt 88 in Newark. If you complete all 30 trails, you will have two entries in the drawing held annually in the Fall, and your entry remains in the pool.
