Hike Details:

Start & finish at the FLT parking area at about 371 Braley Hill Rd.  Hike eastward for about 90 minutes, perhaps to the Shindagin leanto and return.  From Braley Hill Rd the FLT heads east crossing small streams and forest roads. Along the trail we will see foundations illustrating the history of farming in the area.  The trail travels along the edge of the bluff overlooking Shindagin Hollow before dropping steeply into the hollow.  From there we will cross a newly reconstructed bridge that spans Shindagin Hollow Creek, and hike up the other side of the hollow to the Shindagin leanto, then retracing our steps back to the starting point.

  • When conditions might be icy or snowy, bring traction footwear devices (Microspikes, Nanospikes, etc.) to the trailhead. If conditions require snowshoes, the hike leader will let participants know beforehand.
  • Always check the website for last minute announcements and possible cancellations. Contact the hike leader if you have any questions.
