Great place to hike or camp. Please take care to remove any items you bring with you, even if you think they are "natural". This visit to the forest was spent picking up other people's garbage while volunteering and it is sad to see what people leave behind. This is a beautiful destination that should be cherished. Please treat it as such.
Quiet and relaxation, I did a 7 day they hike from Watkins Glen (check out the waterfalls) to Ellicotville I met half a dozen people, very peaceful. I also hiked a 14hr loop from Watkins until 4am!! Coyotes, Deer, owls and other things I couldn’t see with a full sky of stars was a fantastic experience on a well marked, well maintained trail- hats off to the caretakers
Excellent trails to hike. Areas of water and waterfalls, views over Seneca Lake. Many trails have periodic ways to get back to main roads too. A means in my view to save a life of accidents happen. I have been coming here for years and just did the entire interloken trail.
It seems like a nice place to hike. We went when it was raining and cold so we didn't meet anyone else. It's very flat, wooden and in the spring we went, there are quite some flowers. That section has trail in the woods and dirt road running parallel with it. So you can take either. Be aware there is very little parking, 4 cars, at the trailhead.
Worth visiting if you plan on exploring the surrounding area and prefer camping to a B&B/motel. As far as wild area's go, it's not very remote or wild. Lots of housing, fields and pastures mixed in and around. There are some nice, quiet camping cites available. Served us well as a base camp as we visited the lakes, towns and parks in the surrounding area.
Great trails and wonderful views.
Absolutely beautiful place to get away, with similar feeling to the Adirondacks... quick easy get away close to all cny residents....
Amazing gem in middle of Finger Lakes. Remote with many trails and dirt roads to hike. Still a hidden secret that even the locals don't know about it
A group of 5 of us stayed in the Alpaca Guesthouse. The guesthouse was more spacious than the pictures made it appear. It was very clean with plenty of space for us. The bonus was the alpacas right outside. The property is set back from the road and
