I recently had a reader reach out and ask if we could help her find some fun hikes that might be easier for people with not-so-great knees. I can commiserate because there are days when we are hiking, and even my knees want to call it a day (getting older is not for the faint of heart!)
So, I immediately set to work compiling a list of hikes that are flat or at least mostly flat and easy on the knees. Most of these are in Western and Central New York, but we will update the list as we continue to explore New York and discover new trails. (It is just the two of us, so we are getting there as fast as we can. Be sure to check back often.)
We will break this list down by region and then list the hiking destinations with a brief description and a link (if you want to explore more about that particular destination.) Please note: We will try to be as accurate as possible, and of course, not all of these trails will be completely flat, but they won’t have stairs or be very few at the very least, and if there are any hills, they will be gentle inclines.
