HIKE DESCRIPTION
Join David Priester for a special winter hike/snowshoe event on the Van Lone Loop, which is comprised of partly main white-blazed Finger Lakes Trail and the orange-blazed trail to complete the loop in the Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area. We will begin and end at the Gulf Road trail-head.
The primary natural features of this hike include the beautiful, narrow Cayuta Outlet, which could be running with fast water, a nice view of an unnamed creek and a small stand of old growth trees of various species, some up to 150 years old. The route begins on the orange blazed Van Lone Loop trail hiking up Connecticut Hill on woods trail and old roads to Todd Road to meet the white-blazed Finger Lakes Trail, then returning back down hill via the Finger Lakes Trail.
