Hike Description
Join us and discover the delights of one of the newest stretches of the FLT, a brand new loop with a fire tower! This hike will be 7.1 miles with a strenuous climb of 1,000 feet and an equally strenuous descent.
The hike will begin (and end) at the parking area at the intersection of NY Route 10 and NY Route 268 on FLT map M28 at the north end of the NY Route 268 bridge over the reservoir. From the parking area we will hike west on the blue-blazed FLT for 2.1 miles alongside the Cannonsville Reservoir, at which point we will meet up with the new stretch of the FLT. The trail turns east and climbs up to the Rock Rift Fire Tower before dropping back down to parallel NY Route 10 and return to the parking area.

Interested hikers will meet at 9:15 am at the parking area at the intersection of NY Route 10 and NY Route 268. We will begin the hike at 9:30 am.
