ADK-GVC hike at Hi-Tor WMA/Conklin Gully
Hike Announcement below was written with a Rochester area start & end of carpool. Times adjusted to not using the carpool are approximately 11:30am-4:00pm (instead of 10:30am & 5:00pm).
——ADK-GVC HIKE ANNOUNCEMENT——
When:Sun, July 6, 10:30am – 5:00pm
Where:Thornell Farm Park for carpool (map)
Description: Conklin Gully is located in the High Tor Wildlife Management area just outside of Naples. The main “trail” is simply the creek bed. You have to be willing to get your feet wet, assuming the water is running. While only 2 miles, this is one of the most challenging creek walks in the central & western New York region and not one to undertake if you’re afraid of heights. But if you’re willing to put in the effort, you’re in for a treat! There are series of gorgeous (pun intended) cascading waterfalls to walk up, but the real payoff comes at the end — An up-close view of the 50-foot waterfall! TO CARPOOL: please arrive by 10:30 a.m. at Thornell Farm Park in Pittsford on Pittsford Mendon Rd. (Rte. 64), next to the high school. We will leave at 10:45. Or, meet us at the trailhead at 11:30 a.m. There is a signed parking area on 245 just east of Parish Hill Road. (42.633201N 77.36551W)
WHAT TO BRING:
• Footwear with good traction • A small backpack • Water • A snack or lunch • Enthusiasm!

The following event is planned by the Genesee Valley Conservency.
Bring your own craft and enjoy the beautiful waters of the Genesee River.
Drop your craft in Mount Morris (behind Park Inn Liquor/Genesee Valley Resturant) (someone will keep an eye on your gear as you go to park), then proceed to the Indian Fort Nature Preserve to park your vehicle (this will be the ending point of the float). Transports will bring you back to Mt. Morris to start the float.
Meetup and parking will begin at 9am and we’ll get started on the water at 10am.
We’ll make a stop and provide some snacks, feel free to pack a lunch if you like!
*There is no cost, but you will be asked to sign-in and complete a waiver at the event.
*Event supported by Steuben Trust Company
update 7/9/2015: Thoughts for your paddling comfort in shifting gears from our recent rainy grey skies to Saturdays predicted warmth and high sunshine angles. Checklist: Hat with a visor or brim that will stay on in windy conditions, and not end up in the river. Sunglasses to cut reflection off the water and from overhead sunrays, again that will stay on, perhaps with a floating lanyard. Light highly breathable clothing for sun reflection to prevent sunburn. Sunscreen on uncovered areas including you face.
![Walk Behind the Waterfalls Gorge Tour - Watkins Glen @ Watkins Glen State Park](/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/hiker-e1386881583550.jpg)
*** PLEASE NOTE – – – This is NOT a scheduled Springwater Trails hike. It is an option for a hike at Watkins Glen, a hike led by a park naturalist, as held on numerous dates. Sunday August 9th (when there is no scheduled S/T Sunday hike) being one of those dates.. ***
Likely Watkins Glen is a bit far to do a S/T hike, perhaps except by distance exception. (On the outer reaches of travel area to hike.) However for those S/T hikers with specific interest in going to Watkins Glen S.P., recently rated #3 state park in the U.S.A. (by-the-way Letchworth S.P. was recently rated #1 state park in all of the U.S.A., maybe you’ve not yet heard this), &/or who are perhaps looking for a Sunday 8/9/2015 hike (if they feel they are missing a Sunday hike from their weekend plans) and who maybe can not make the Saturday August 8th S/T hike this may be an option.
There are also other dates for this same “Walk Behind the Waterfalls Gorge Tour” hike. Please take note of the varying availability of dates and times this hike is offered as a park naturalist guided nature walk.
Perhaps at the Saturday 8/8/2015 S/T hike (Canadice Outlet Woodswalk), some of our S/T hikers may wish to confer about possibilities of coalescing a group of hikers who may wish to hike at Watkins Glen on 8/9, or on another date, to do this Watkins Glen Waterfall hike.
And, … of course once you are at Watkins Glen S.P for this hike, nothing stopping you from continuing your hiking time at the park outside of the park naturalist guided walk. Heck, you made the drive, why not see some more of the place. And if it is a hot day, there is an olympic-sized swimming pool in the park sure to cool you off if you take the plunge. And for cemetery appreciators (and with a vista viewpoint none-the-less), there is a large cemetery (Greenwood Cemetery) immediately contiguous the northeast section of Watkins Glen State Park, and yes park trails connect to the cemetery. It is left to you to explore the possibilities, no “spoiler” here, albeit said there is an open-sided pavilion in the cemetery with picnic tables.
Also noteworthy, not too far west of the far western end of the park, is a section of the FLT, and in the towns of Orange, Tyrone, Reading & Dix (all in Schuyler County) is the Sugar Hill State Forest and here you will find the Sugar Hill Fire Tower trails, and YES, you can climb the fire tower to the top. And occasionally the “cab” of the fire tower is open. (Hint: look for Tower Hill Road.)
