This Sunday we will explore the woods and fields overlooking Honeoye Lake on the west side, followed by a dish-to-pass social at the Affolter farm.  Meet at 5422 County Road 37, about 2 miles south of Route 20A and 2 miles north of Canadice Town Hall.  Park in the drive or on the road shoulder. Our hikes will take us up the ridge, through wooded trails and along field rims.  Get a scenic vista of the whole expanse of Honeoye Lake, from a new and different perspective. There is a significant climb at the start which you can take at your own speed, but after that it’s pretty level for the most part. 

There will be a longer hike for the Climbers of 3 to 4 miles, and a shorter hike for the Tourists-Naturalists of 2 to 3 miles.  Hiking conditions should be good, cloudy with temperatures in the low 40s, but layers are advised, and be prepared for mud.  

Bring your favorite goodies along for an indoor dish-to-pass social at the hike starting point.
