Charlie Major Nature Trail
While on the Charlie Major Nature Trail, keep on the lookout for relics and remnants from the days of the Skaneateles Short Line
Enjoy the natural and historic aspects by walking the Charlie Major Nature Trail as it traverses along Skaneateles Creek between Old Seneca Turnpike and Crow Hill Road.
Once a railroad line known as the Skaneateles Short Line, today the rails are gone and a serene path follows Skaneateles Creek for part of its journey with a picnic area along the creek and a playground at the Mottville Trailhead for the kids to enjoy. Along the .8 mile pathway, keep on the lookout for relics and remnants from the days of the railroad.
