We are a non-profit all volunteer organization that builds and maintains hiking and biking trails and paths in Victor, New York that are open for all to use. Most of these are open to bikes; the major exception is most of Ganondagan State Historic Site. Some trails close for hunting seasons. We work closely with the Town government, Ganondagan, and other civic and volunteer trail groups. Since our beginning in 1991, Victor has created a trail system with over 65 miles – and growing – of trails with connections leading to many hundreds of miles in neighboring trail systems. VHT actively maintains about half of those miles.
