The designation of the Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) as a “footpath” establishes the criteria for its construction and maintenance, so as to minimize human impact on the natural state of the land, and maximize the trail user's “wilderness type” experience. As a result, the FLT may easily be distinguished from “multi-use trails” in appearance, design, and enjoyment. The use of conveyances, including but not limited to bicycles, motorized vehicles, horses, and snowmobiles, violates the above desired objectives, and, the mission of the Finger Lakes Trail Conference (FLTC).
