Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) & Trail 7

Join the Trail Otter Gang for another Winter Hike . We'll meet in the one-way street parking lot in downtown Nunda, kitty corner to the 7-11 gas station, leaving by 8:40am. The trailhead is at the end of Portageville Road (to the left of Parade Ground entrance) just before the railroad crossing. and we'll arrive by 8:50am to sign waivers and start hiking by 9am. Trail 7 is a workout, as we drop straight down to the gorge bottom and return straight up to the gorge rim, then drop down again to Parade Grounds. Then back up to the rim to return to our vehicles. Approximately 3 miles of hiking with steep climb out of the gorge. This trail will explore the new reroute around the slide area.

Hope you can join us!
