| Feb. 8, 10 M17 | The Tamarack Lean-to, located in Danby State Forest between NYS Route 96B and Travor Road, will be dismantled in preparation for construction of a replacement lean-to in late June.
Dismantling is scheduled to begin April 3rd and may last several weeks. Campers and hikers should be aware that the shelter will not be available for overnights, beginning April 3rd. Tent camping at this site is still available and permitted. - Gary Mallow, Trails |
| Oct. 20, 09 M17 | The white-blazed Finger Lakes Trail is closed from its juncture with the orange-blazed Buttermilk Spur (off Townline Rd.) to W. Jersey Hill Rd.
Road-walk alternative: hiking west to east as you come up out of the Lick Brook Preserve, turn right on Townline Rd. and continue hiking on the road until you pick up white blazes at Blakeslee Hill Rd. Continue to the intersection with Layen Road, where the trail continues on the abandoned section of old road. This section is closed due to withdrawal of permission from a landowner. Please respect this preference and stay off this section of trail. - Gary Mallow, Trails |
