Our hike this Sunday will be a combination of field, creek and woods on the Sandy Bottom Trail in Honeoye. We will meet at the parking lot on East Lake Road, 3/10 of a mile south of Rte 20A/Main St., Honeoye. The lot is small – about 10 cars max, so some may have to park on the road shoulder. We will all start out together on the field portion and then there are options: head down the path to the long winding creek for a creek walk to explore some of the most interesting rocks I’ve seen in the area, and fossils here and there as well. Or, continue walking the field loop into the woods loop and back out to finish the field loop (about 3 miles), then head down to explore the creek. I spent well over an hour exploring the creek with a couple of friends last Spring – there’s plentiful treasures to see! Recommended attire – sturdy shoes with decent treads, walking sticks for creek with slippery stones.
