Another part of the Great Trail system in New England was later followed by Massachusetts Route 2; it leads from Boston to upstate New York. The section now known as the Mohawk Trail (used by tribes such as the Mohawk and Pocomtuc) leads from the Connecticut River valley through the Berkshires and [[Mohawk or Iroquois Trail|Mohawk Trail]] State Forest into the area of present-day Albany, New York, the state capital. From here, the Great Trail system connected all parts of the territories where the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy lived. | Another part of the Great Trail system in New England was later followed by Massachusetts Route 2; it leads from Boston to upstate New York.

In northern New Jersey, the portion of the Great Trail much-used by the Lenape included choice places to cross the Passaic River and to pass through the valleys among the Watchung Mountains, notably at Hobart Gap. As the Dutch colonists advanced beyond the proximity of the Hudson River, the new settlers found these paths crucial to their movement. New Jersey Route 24 generally follows a branch of the trail in this area.[</ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Great Trail" in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'' at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Trail Great_Trail](accessed 6 March 2013).</ref> | In northern New Jersey, the portion of the Great Trail much-used by the Lenape included choice places to cross the Passaic River and to pass through the valleys among the Watchung Mountains, notably at Hobart Gap.

A more southern part of the Great Trail system went from Delaware across Pennsylvania to Oldtown, Maryland, and then to the Ohio River below present-day Pittsburgh. It crossed Columbia County to Bolivar and Sandusky, and continued west. The part of the Great Trail used by Colonial American troops during Pontiac's Rebellion has been improved as U.S. Route 23.<ref>[http://www.railsandtrails.com/Maps/OhioArch1914/trails.htm Indian Trails and Towns in Ohio].</ref> [[Image:Mohawk Trail map.png|right|420px|Mohawk Trail map.png]] | A more southern part of the Great Trail system went from Delaware across Pennsylvania to Oldtown, Maryland, and then to the Ohio River below present-day Pittsburgh.
