Hiking Carnegie Bay Trail

We were completely taken by surprise to learn that there
is a small nature trail located just outside of Alexandria Bay. In fact, one
has to drive into A-Bay to access it. The Carnegie Bay trail is located on
Carnegie Bay Road off of High Street which is a right turn on Walton Street
heading into the Bay from Rt 12E. It was apparently created, in part, through a
NYS Environmental Protection Fund grant. We heard about the trail from
the A-Bay website but found very little information about what to expect.
We were delighted to find a true nature trail down a
fairly wide mowed path through a variety of terrains. It starts in an open
meadow filled with wildflowers and then breaks off in several directions. From
what we could tell there is no trail map, and a little over two miles of
wandering and looping trails.
We headed toward what looked the most foresty and had a
nice walk in the woods before coming to a road (most of the other trails don't
end at a road). We followed the road to the golf course and then found another
trailhead behind the clubhouse which took us back into the woods, the meadows,
and back to our car.
