THE TOWN OF RICHFIELD
The Town of Richfield is in northern Otsego County. The corridor consists of 1.23 miles of roadbed in the Town between milepost 292.93 and mp 294.16. The roadbed through this area crosses the Mink Creek on three metal bridges and on one outstanding stone arch viaduct at mp 293.04 making this short stretch one with remarkable beauty.
A walking trail through this picturesque section of the corridor would be an outstanding regional asset for area residents.
