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 difficult to see from the highway,but there is now a kiosk and better parking.
Hiking up the gorge is strenuous with some long uphill stretches and steep grades.
Wear sturdy hiking boots or shoes and bring water.

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