Come try out the Finger Lakes Trail or complete part of your end-to-end in Cortland County during four separate, approximately 10-mile weekend hikes with Jennifer Wilson, continuing two previous series. This year, participants will see more of the rugged farmland and state forestlands of Cortland County and wee bits of Chenango and Madison Counties in a series that will cover Finger Lakes Trail Conference main trail maps 20 through part of map 22.
- Hike 1 on Sunday, June 13, is from Carson Road to Hoxie Gorge Road and is 10.3 miles (M20).
- Hike 2 on Sunday, July 11, is from New York Route 41 near Solon to Hoxie Gorge Road is 10.5 miles (M20).
- Hike 3, on Saturday, Aug. 21, is from Cheningo Solon Pond Road to Route 41 and is 9.2 miles (M21).
- Hike 4 on Saturday, Sept. 4, is from County Route 53 in Madison County to Cheningo Solon Pond Road in Cortland County, for 11.5 miles (M21-M22).
Perhaps these outings will inspire participants to tackle the rest of this beauteous, 560-mile foot-trail stretching from Allegheny State Forest into the Catskills.
Bring raingear if inclement weather is forecast, as we’ll hike rain or shine. Wear appropriate footgear, bring sufficient water and pack a lunch and snacks. You’ll likely be asked to lend your car for the shuttle from end-to-end so please be ready and willing to do that if you are asked. Contact Jennifer if you would like more information.
