Ride celebrates America 250 & beauty of NYS parks; registration is live
Press release
The Niagara Region of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced the third annual “Pedal for Parks,” presented by the Maid of the Mist, in support of local New York state parks.
The noncompetitive, family-friendly ride will take place Sunday, Sept. 20, and will start at Fort Niagara State Park. There are three different routes with various lengths that will take riders through Artpark, Joseph Davis, Fort Niagara, Four Mile Creek, Wilson Tuscarora, Devil’s Hole, Whirlpool and Niagara Falls state parks. The 100-kilometer ride goes to Golden Hill State Park.
The routes for the ride will show off millions of dollars in recent investments made by New York State Parks in partnership with the Niagara River Greenway, the New York Power Authority, the New York State Department of Transportation and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation in the local trail system. All proceeds will stay in Western New York and support programming in the parks.
Qualified New York State Parks Access Pass and Lifetime Liberty Pass holders can send proof of eligibility to [email protected] to receive a discount code to register for the 11- and 19-mile rides.
