You are invited to hike, on a very special private property at the Affolter family homestead (circa 1900), on Sunday March 30th!

The farm, which originally spanned over 360 acres, has been in the Affolter family for over three generations.  The property is rich with historical significance and amazing views of the Naples Valley including Honeoye Lake!  Weather permitting, we also explore Affolter Gully.

 

The hike on Sunday, March 30 will begin at 2:00pm.  Please plan to arrive by 1:45pm, dress for the conditions and feel free to bring poles. The terrain is varied with a small hill, open areas and wooded terrain.

 

Location: The Affolter family homestead is located at 5422 Co Road 37, Hemlock, NY  14466 is well marked and is on the high side of the road. There is plenty of room for parking on the property next to the house and or the barn.

 

Social: After the hike, plan to warm up and join the group onsite at the Affolter homestead. Please bring a dish to pass or small monetary donation.  We look forward to seeing you all!

Hike at Sandy Bottom Park, Honeoye

Our hike this Sunday, March 16th will be at Sandy Bottom Nature Trail starting from Main Street across the street from Birdhouse Brewery (8716 Main Street Honeoye, NY 14471).  This is where we will park and gather.

The hike will begin at 2:00pm.  Please plan to arrive by 1:45pm for hike instruction and participation in our beloved group photo.

The hike will begin by exploring the beach then progress to the loop nature trail where hikers will be treated to early spring sights and sounds of the surrounding woods and open field and then return to Main Street. Our hike (about 2.5 miles) will be a combination of field and woods on a relatively flat terrain.

 

Social:  Please join us afterwards at the BirdHouse Brewing Company at 8713 Main Street, Honeoye, for restorative food and beverages and some entertainment.  http://birdhousebrewing.beer
