Nature Trails

We have 6 miles of secluded nature trails that traverse through our Sugarbush and 220 acre farmland and fields.    A trail map can be picked up at the self-serve on the side of the sap house. Hike at your own risk.   Picnicking is available on the outside porch of Sugarbush Hollow. Primitive bathroom facilities are available. Explore the spring woodland wildflowers in April and May.  Taste our fresh leeks in April. Enjoy the crisp fall foliage of the sugar maple trees and the silence of the winter wonderland. 

Hiking Club

We are members of a weekly hiking club that explore the trails in the surrounding area every Sunday.    Hikes start at 2:00 from designated sites and end at 5:00. If you would like a schedule of events contact us and we’ll put you on the mailing list. We also sell a local hiking book locating 21 Hiking Trails in the “Little Finger Lakes” at our self serve if you want to explore the area on your own.
