The Malone Walk/Bike Challenge

​The Explore Malone Walk/Bike Challenge is an ongoing program for encouraging outdoor activities that also promotes awareness of some of our community’s highlights. Ten routes are identified on the Challenge maps for walking, biking, or hiking in Malone and nearby surrounding areas. The Challenge consists of completing 5 of the 10 routes that people choose to “explore”. Challenge maps are available at the Wead Library on Elm Street, or HERE.
