Five Notable Hikes, Mitchellsville Gorge
The Five Notable Hikes of New York’s portion of the NCNST showcase some of the most expansive and interesting scenery in the state. And, with this hike series, Trail users can explore all five locations in a group setting with experienced North Country Trail hike coordinators.
Just south of Hammondsport in Steuben County, this hike on private land features a walk past vineyard on the Keuka Lake inlet and passage through an Eastern Hemlock forest before encountering Mitchellsville Creek and the gorge. The roundtrip hike is 4.8 miles and comes with a warning to avoid the now unstable gorge rim.
Registration is required and capacity is limited. Registration for this hike is open as of April 11.
- Hike leader: Deb Nero (dn13@cornell.edu, 607-227-7057)
- Meeting Time and Place: 9:45 a.m. at the Urbana Town Hall (GPS coordinates: 42.39071, -77.25911).
All five of the notable hikes qualify for the NCTA Hike 100 Challenge, and Little Rock City, Mitchelsville Gorge, and Tinker Falls also qualify for the FLTC 60.
Hikes are free and open to the public. For more information and details about any of the five hikes, please email nytc@northcountrytrail.org.
