Brief Hike Details

This is an out-and-back hike on the Finger Lakes Trail in Treman State Park in Enfield/Newfield, rated moderate.

If a second hike leader can be found, there will be two hikes offered on this route: a short hike and a long hike. Choose one:

The short hike will go approximately four miles. The group will stop frequently to observe flora and whatever wildflowers are visible.

The long hike will go approximately seven miles, as far as the bridge over Fish Kill Creek, and will be led by David Priester. This hike will go at a faster pace.

Both hikes begin and end at the lower parking area for Lick Brook Preserve near the intersection of NY State Routes 13/34/96, four miles south of Ithaca.

Dress for warm weather, wear sturdy waterproof boots, and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. Trekking poles recommended if you have them.

If you will have trouble navigating to the trailhead, email the hike leader at the address above.

Check this space the day of the hike for any changes or a cancellation.

The hikes tonight will take us through Treman State Park on the Finger Lakes Trail, rather than the more-traveled Rim and Gorge Trails.

There may be a short hike option in addition to a long hike option led by David Priester. The short hike will go at a slower pace to enjoy the flora and whatever wildflowers still are present, and will go as far as the group wishes, then turn around and return to the cars. Hikers on the long hike will go at a faster pace and will go as far as the bridge spanning Fish Kill Creek, then head back downhill to the cars.
