Hike Details:

“Meanders” describes the creek shape, not necessarily our pace!  We meet at the Flat Rock parking area across the street from the Cornell Botanic Gardens Arboretum, and start our hike by crossing the suspension bridge to the north side of the Fall Creek Valley Natural Area.  Heading upstream along the beautiful creek, we cross to the south side over Freese Road and hike a lollipop route that includes the most spectacular view from the south side of Fall Creek.

It’s winter, so come prepared!  Wear waterproof hiking boots, layered warm clothing, bring traction footwear (Microspikes, Stabilicers, Nanospikes, etc) and/or snowshoes if conditions warrant, and carry water and a snack.  Hiking poles recommended.

Registration is closed!
