The Black Diamond Trail near Ithaca is a broad, mostly level, multi-use trail — limited to cyclists, walkers, runners, cross country skiers, and snowshoers. Its stone dust surface makes the trail a pleasure to ride on or to stroll along in what is essentially a picturesque, eight-mile long, tree-lined alleyway.
