Hike and Waterfalls at Watson Homestead near Painted Post

Join April for this hike

We'll hike on the Finger Lakes trail where it travels through the Watson Homestead. The trail will take us into an old growth pine stand and through hardwood forests. Once off the Watson Homestead we'll walk down an old farm lane, pass a homestead foundation, and visit a waterfall. A short walk down a seasonal road will take us back to our cars.

Dress for the weather

Bring MASK (must be worn when 6 feet distance can't be maintained), a snack and water. Hiking poles may be useful. Expect mud, rocks, weeds, and other standard outdoor features.

Distance - 2.5 miles, moderate elevation gain
