Description

This short hiking trail offers access to Mud Lake and meanders along an esker jutting far out into the water. The trail goes through an open hardwood forest and comes upon the shore, offering nice views of the surrounding forest and access for fishing or a canoe launch. This is an easy hike with lovely views, and the opportunity to see Bald Eagles, which are known to nest on the shores of Mud Lake.

Check the DEC website for updates on fishing regulations and Bald Eagle repopulation projects.

Trail Tips

Ride Safe
Always wear a helmet when biking. Consider bringing a spare tube and pump so that you can fix a flat tire and offer help to other cyclists in need. On roads, bike in the same direction as traffic.
