Mar 29 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Join us March 29th to hike on part of the Bristol Branch of the Finger Lakes Trail located at 6888 West Hollow Rd, South Bristol. This section of the FLT leads up to Gannett Hill, including woods, boardwalk, a pond and a creek half way up. This will be an out and back hike.
Map showing trail from Gannett Hill to CR 33Please arrive 1:45pm to sign in, get directions and be in the group photo.
We start the hike at 2:00pm.
 
Climbers: The Climbers will start first and follow the orange trail east from CR 33 passing the beaver pond dam (0.6 miles), the high point of the Bristol Hills Branch (1.7 mi and 2250′ high), and on to the Jump-off and parking area in Ontario County Park for a 3 mile hike and a 700′ climb. We will stage a couple of cars for the ride back to the rest of the cars.
Tourists: The Tourists will follow the climbers for an hour or to the highest point, and then will return to the cars for about a 3.4 mile hike.
Naturalists: The Naturalists will also follow in the same direction but will not climb as far as the Climbers. The will also pass thebeaver pond dam and the Register (0.7 mi). About 0.2 miles past the register, the blue trail on the right will take the Naturalists to the Beaver Pond Lean-to (with an outhouse). They may want to spend more time investigating the pond, creek and perhaps find the old cabin. They will also return to the cars the same way they came to the pond.

Trailhead

The Trailhead is on the west side of CR 33 – West Hollow Rd. It is north of 6910 West Hollow Rd and south of 6880 West Hollow Rd. There is no sign at the trailhead, so you can click on the trailhead picture and the mailbox you will pass to get a feel for finding the trailhead. The lot only parks 8 cars so you might need to park on the side of the road. If you park on the road, try to select the same side as other cars. All hikers will cross the road and walk south on the road to the trail to the beaver pond.

One thought on “Calendar

  1. Looking for brochure.or mailing list so I can receive it in the mail.
    Nothing opens up for mailing list.
    There’s all kinds of very bizarre ads and post for viagra and other drugs above on calender page.
    Please let me know if there’s a brochure available
