Paulinskill Viaduct GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

This route may have access issues.

Unfortunately the Paulinskill Viaduct is now closed to the public. Do not enter or you're trespassing.

The abanonded concrete railroad bridge known as Paulinskill Viaduct was built in 1910 and now serves as a great little spot to explore. It's also known as the Hainesburg Trestle. Unforunately vandals have written all over the impressive concrete structure, but the urban feel with unlimited graffiti gives this place a bit of personality. Climb up the obvious dirt hill to the top of the viaduct and walk across. There are manholes along the top that go down into the arches and metal ladders safely take you from one arch to the next, overlooking the river below.
