Hike Details:
Start and finish at the Lindsay Parsons Biodiversity Preserve parking area. We will hike on the blue trail out to Coleman Lake, then take red and yellow to cross the Cayuga Inlet and railroad tracks, continuing on orange up the hill to view Celia’s Cup, then backtrack a short distance to pick up purple, then orange, crossing the tracks again. We will continue on orange to yellow near the North Beaver Pond and then take red back to blue to the parking lot.
This is an easy hike with a few not too steep hills. We get to enjoy the glacial terrain, open fields and mixed forests.
