Santa may still use reindeer power, but sometimes he joins you to enjoy a ride on our authentic 89-year-old electric trolley car, recalling another time when families rode trolleys from their rural homes to do their holiday shopping in the city. The museum will be decorated for the holiday. Also, nothing says Christmas like model trains. The museum’s large model railroad will be running three trains at once!

Anyone want to prehike Sunday’s hike. I plan to meet at Thorp Rd at 10:00 Thursday and hike up to the top of Hunt Hollow ski area. Please give me a call or email me at info@springwatertrails.org.
This event has been postponed again. We are still trying to line up the equipment listed below. Please stay tuned.
During our April 2 hike down Marrowback Rd, the many tires in the gullies below the road became a topic of conversation and concern. In addition to being an eye-sore, discarded tires are a convenient breeding site for mosquitos and can be a fire hazard.
Since that hike, we have talked with two major landowners and to the Town of Springwater about working to remove these tires and move them to a more appropriate place.
Our first day to work on this project will be May 23 at 10:00. Please come as we develop methods for pulling the tires up to the road and transporting them to the Town highway barn for disposal.
What to bring:
- Good work gloves.
- Good hiking boots. If desired, traction devices to help climbing up to the road.
- Rope to loop around tires.
- Clothes that can get dirty while working around heavy, wet tires.
In addition to helping with your energy and your muscles, you may want to lend your farm equipment. We need the following equipment:
- Power winches to pull the tires up the bank. If you have a vehicle with a power winch, we think that would be a great help in this project.
- Trailers to transport the tires.
- Trucks to pull the trailers. We will try to move the tires to the town Highway barn so the town Highway department can schedule disposal.
- Ropes to help handling the tires and the winches.
If you can volunteer any of this equipment, please leave a comment in the Tire Forum or contact John at vp@springwatertrails.org.
One final comment. A $2.50 fee has been collected since 2003 on every tire sold in New York State. In addition, any Tire Service company is required to accept, on a one-for-one basis old tires for recycling when new tires are sold. As a result, you have already paid for the disposal of your old tires and you should be returning them when you purchase new tires. Please remember, you do not need to dump your old tires into our forests.
What better way to kick off the New Year than by getting a jump start torching off those holiday calories in the great outdoors. Springwater Trails is leading one of the dozens of sponsored hikes held each New Year’s Day on public lands across the Empire State.
Local volunteers and staff from DEC and State Parks will be leading family-friendly walks and hikes. The hikes range from one to five miles depending on the location and conditions. Check out the great hikes available.
Our hike will be along Canadice lake. The trail will be easy to moderate difficulty. There are approximately 14 miles of marked hiking trails on Hemlock-Canadice State Forest. The trip length will be family-friendly and determined by participants.
Please dress appropriately for the weather. Bring snowshoes if there is snow. Bring hiking poles, wear good boots and carry water with you.
Directions: v Springwater: Head north on NY-15A. In 7.6 miles, turn right into Purcell Hill Rd. Go up and over the hill (1.2 miles). At the bottom but before the lake, the parking is on the right.
From Rochester and Hemlock: head south on Ny-15A. Go through Hemlock NY. In 3.5 miles, turn left onto Purcell Hill Rd. Go up and over the hill (1.2 miles). At the bottom but before the lake, the parking is on the right.
Spring is here!, and it is time to get outside. The Finger Lakes Land Trust is sponsoring a volunteer opportunity at Wesley Hill. This is an opportunity for Springwater Trails to say thank you to one of our popular hike locations.
Wesley Hill is one of FLLT’s most iconic nature preserves, and on Monday, May 20th, it will be turning 20 years old! If you have never visited our westernmost preserve, this is your chance! Wesley Hill is full of beautiful vistas, gorges, and old growth trees.
Please join me on Saturday the 18th to help refresh the hiking trails and clear a short reroute, as well as conduct habitat management. At the end of the day, we will raise a glass of something bubbly to a magnificent place that is protected forever. Tools, work gloves, and refreshments (including N/A options), will be provided. We will meet at 11:00am at the WESLEY RD. parking area. Directions can be found here.
