We examined the monetary value of an expanded trail system, and the extent to which the proposed Palmertown Range Trail offers an opportunity to improve local business revenues, protect natural resources, and promote sustainable development. Saratoga County residents support the Palmertown Trail for several reasons, particularly growth in business revenues through increased tourist visits. Saratoga County residents would be willing to pay $18.83 – $19.85 annually for a trail connecting the Saratoga Greenbelt Trail to Moreau Lake State Park.
