Hike at Ontario County Park - Bristol Hills Branch of the Finger Lakes

This 3-mile hike will be one-way, generally going downhill. We'll start from the highest point on the Bristol Hills Branch - the Jump-Off in Ontario County Park. We'll stop at the Beaver Pond Lean-to and have a snack, and finish up at Rt 33. We will meet at the end point of the hike and at 11 am we will shuttle to our starting point.

What to bring

- Sturdy boots or shoes that can handle mud and wet conditions. You may want to bring an extra pair of shoes for your drive home (and a plastic bag for your muddy shoes).

- Clothes for the weather. Layers are best. Rain gear if needed.

- Snack and water

- Hiking poles if you have them - useful in the mud

- Gaiters if you have them - keep your pants dry and mud-free

- A good attitude - no complaining about mud and rain :-)
