Helderberg Quilt Barn Trail Guide and Map
Unfortunately, we can't promise reliable cell phone/smart phone/tablet service in the Hilltowns. The files below are PDF documents you may want to download and print.
GUIDE: The Trail Guide gives thumbnail photos of the barn quilts and information about locations. The guide is a simplified version of our On The Trail page. We've done our best to provide you with street locations as well as links for your GPS. Click here to download a Guide to the Helderberg Quilt Barn Trail.
MAP: The Trail Map is shown below. State route numbers are in bold. The main state routes are dotted lines. County route numbers are in (parentheses). In an effort to keep the map as simple as possible, several roads aren't shown. The map is to scale. Please take a minute to orient yourself. Duanesburg (Schenectady County) is to the north (top) of the map, Guilderland is to the east (right), and Wright (Schoharie County) is to the west (left).

Guidelines for enjoying your tour:
[1] We ask that you respect the private property of our barn quilt owners. Unless you're at a public place, such as Thacher Nature Center, please remain in your vehicle.
[2] Drive carefully. There may be farm machinery, farm animals, or woodland creatures on the road. Use extra caution on our hills in wintertime.
[3] Park carefully. Many roads have minimal or no shoulder, so pull over as far as you can and put on your hazard lights if you wish to stop and take photos.
[4] Barn quilts on our trail are visible from public roads. If a road is marked "DEAD END," feel free to drive along it until you come to the barn quilt, then turn around there.
[5] Many of our farms are "working farms," which means they are private businesses, not petting zoos or parks. You may say "hi" to the farm animals from your vehicle, but don't attempt to pet them. Be mindful of electric fences and poison ivy.
[6] The beautiful Helderberg Hilltowns are rural and have limited services, so be sure you have gas in your car and cash in your pocket!
