Support the Trail

The Harlem Valley Rail Trail is 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. All funds raised are used directly to achieve our goal of a 46-mile trail between Wassaic and Chatham.

To donate to the $125,000 Matching Funds needed for the $375,000 state grant for design and engineering plans for a new segment of the trail that will link the village of Philmont with the village of Chatham, indicate Chatham to Philmont on your donation.
