I am answering this question from my New York Perspective.
Easement is to the property behind us. The property is primarily woods and pasture area not used. The people who own that land do not use the easement properly and go through out property as an "easier" route. We would like to terminate the easement but are unsure if that's possible.

Termination is possible in many ways, but it sounds like they will ignore your efforts and probably will sue you.
