Susquehanna Chapter ADK

CANOE TRIP CHANGED TO HIKE

We will NOT be canoeing on Canadarago Lake as the water is quite high and it seems more would like to hike than do another water event. So we have decided to return to a hiking area where we have permission to lead ADKers in the Greenwoods Conservancy area of the Hartwick State Forest area where we have hiked in the past - but possibly taking a trail we may not have taken the group on before. We will decide which trail depending on conditions.

On Tuesday, August 25 we will meet at 10:00 a.m at the intersection of Route 205 and Route 80 (at the State road T) and we will proceed east to Cranberry Bog Road and drive up the hill to the trail head, road permitting. We will check out the road beforehand to see the best way to get to the trails due to the heavy rains we have had. Those coming from Oneonta should meet Currie Marr at the Old Ames parking lot for a 9:20 a.m.departure and proceed to the 205/80 intersection. Those coming from Cooperstown area should take Rt. 28 North and turn left onto Rt. 80 north of Oaksville (just past the ice cream store) and go about 2-3 miles to the 205/80 intersection where we will meet the group.

The hike will be fairly easy - about 2 hours - bring lunch and either plan to eat in the field there - or proceed to our home at 114 Zephyr Knoll, Richfield Springs, where we will have drinks and dessert. If there are any questions, please call Monica & Irv Peters at (315) 858-0261.
