Hike Description

The long hike will be approximately 7 miles and the short hike will be approximately 3 miles. The long hike will include pieces of the FLT, small portions of seasonal roads, plus blue-blazed spur trails to complete the loop. Chenango County is known for its hills, but it is ups and downs on well-maintained trails, so the hiking is very enjoyable.

Both hikes will stop at the Sidote bench and the Pharsalia (Sandberg) lean-to. The hikes are loop hikes and no car shuttle is necessary. Bring a lunch, snack, bug spray, sun screen. A sturdy hiking footwear and a hiking stick are recommended.

Meeting time.

Start time 9 AM. Please be there and ready to hike at this time (dressed for the weather, hiking footwear on, bugspray and sunscreen applied, pack at the ready).
