This past winter Springwater Trail hikers explored the C-4 snowmobile trail around Lanning/Richards Road on the border of Livingston/Ontario and Steuben Counties, and extension into the unique Wolf Gull area in the Township of Naples. Access to this area is only by private road and permission from landowners. Following up on the suggestion of Mr. Shipman, local landowner, we were invited to return to the ponds where ferns were said to be 5 feet high and the aquatic life vibrant around the first of July.

Ellen Folts from Amanda’s Garden will be our Naturalist leader, following a mostly flat private road through the gull area. Ellen will identify a variety of native perennial plants, taking time to photograph and enjoy the unique environment.

Tourists and Climbers led by Pam and Rick will explore the side roads around Wolf Gull, climbing to the top of the hills to enjoy scenic views of windmills and freshly planted farm fields.

After Hike Social will be at the Mountain View in Atlanta.

Directions:

We will meet at Schum Acres on Atlanta Garlinghouse Road. Watch for our Springwater Trails sign.  Detailed directions are here.
