Detailed Hike Description

The hike tonight will take us through Treman State Park on the Finger Lakes Trail, rather than the more-traveled Rim and Gorge Trails.  We will go as far as the wooden trail bridge over Fishkill Creek before retracing our steps and returning to the cars.

The hike  starts at the parking area used for the Lick Brook Preserve on Routes 13/34/96. For those not familiar with it, this parking area is unmarked, unpaved, and difficult to see from the highway.
 
Hiking up the gorge is strenuous with long uphill stetches and steep grades. If you are not good on steep uphill pitches, you might consider joining us on another day. This one is not for newbies.
 
Wear sturdy hiking boots or shoes and bring water. 
 
Starting and endpoint is the lower Lick Brook Preserve parking area. If you will have trouble navigating to the start point, email the hike leader at the address above.
