The future Skyline Trail will be approximently 5.5 miles when it's finished.  The trail is located near Tully, NY.  The western terminus of the Skyline Trail is in Heiberg Memorial Forest, which is owned by the State University of New York College of Environmental Science & Forestry.  The eastern terminus of the trail is at the junction of the North Country Trail near Tinker Falls in Labrador Hollow Unique Area.

This new trail is currently under construction, with only 1.1 miles of the trail finished, blazed and ready for hiking (as of 12/19/2011).  You'll find 0.8 miles of trail blazed and ready for hiking between NY 91 and Markham Hollow Road in Labrador Hollow Unique Area.  There is another 0.3 miles of trail that is completed and blazed near Tinker Falls between NY 91 to the junction of the North Country Trail.

The rest of the trail is under development, with some stretches completed with flagging and other stretches still under construction.  Once the trail is completely finished, the Skyline Trail will be a challenging hike, especially the section that travels up/down the very steep Labrador Mountain.
