The Marbletown O&W Rail Trail is part of the old O&W Railroad bed that ran from Kingston to Ellenville until its demise in 1957. Taken over by Ulster County at that time, the Marbletown portion of the trail is now owned by the Town of Marbletown. The Marbletown portion runs from the Hurley town line south to the Rochester town line through the Town of Marbletown for approximately nine miles, and is designated as a linear park for the town.
Main trail heads with parking are located at Marcott Road, Cottekill Road (also behind the Cottekill firehouse) Leggett Road (with enlarged parking) and the Rest Plaus Road parking area. The trail is maintained by the Town of Marbletown and Trail Volunteers.
