Sunday September18th we will be hiking the trails around Camp Cutler, the scout camp between Gulick Road and Hunt Hollow Road (County Road 33) in Naples. Here’s the trail map: 

The hike – We will meet at 2:00pm at the shelter/pavilion at the edge of the large parking lot at 7131 Gulick Road. We’ll divide 2 groups, climbers, and tourists/naturalists. All groups will start off together, walking north from the parking lot. The trails are well marked with colored blazes and are easy to follow, but always look for the next blaze! Both groups will start out together following the camp roads.

At the first fork, stay to the left at the start of the red trail. A short distance up the hill, you will see a sign for the Nature Trail. Turn left off the road onto the blazed red trail. The Naturalists/tourists will follow the Red Trail which will loop around the pond for a total of 2.54-3 miles.  The Climbers will complete a 5-mile loop around the perimeter of the camp. This hike does not disappoint, with two beautiful lookouts with spectacular views. We will avoid the areas of recent logging activity. Bring water and a snack for this long hike.  There is a place to sit at each lookout. Poles are suggested; if it is wet, it may be slippery in spots.

The Social – After the hike, we will meet at the pavilion at the end of the parking lot for a social. Please bring a dish to pass and something to drink.

Directions:  From Honeoye: take route 20A east through Honeoye to East Lake Road (CR 33). Turn right onto East Lake Road. (If coming from Bristol or points east, it’s a left onto East Lake Road). Take the first left, staying on CR 33, then the first right onto Pinewood Hill which becomes Gulick Road. Travel about 7 miles to Camp Cutler at 7131 on the left side. There is a big sign and a large parking area.

From Springwater: Head north on Rte. 15A toward Hemlock. Just before Hemlock, turn right on Rte.20A. Follow Rt 20A to Honeoye and then follow the directions above.

From Naples: From the southern end of Naples, head west on Co Rd 36. Follow Co Rd 36 for 1.2 to the first right turn on Gulick Rd. Follow Gulick for about 5 miles, the camp will be on the right. There will be a big sign and a large parking area.
