Osceola Old Growth Forest Hike October 12, 201910:00 am - 2:00 pm « Mushroom Hike Annual Dinner & Silent Auction » FREE: Thanks to community support **This date is the rescheduled event date If you have ever wondered how large trees over one hundred years old can be and love fall foliage, then this is the hike for you. We invite you to explore one of the most remote, beautiful old growth forests on Tug Hill as naturalist and outdoorsman, Bob McNamara leads this hike. Plan on wearing sturdy boots, as we will be doing off-trail hiking over moderately difficult terrain. The payoff for your efforts will be experiencing trees that have grown uninterrupted for hundreds of years. This hike is free and open to the community. We will meet at the Osceola Tug Hill XC Ski Center (1486 Osceola Rd., Camden, NY 13316) parking area and we’ll carpool to the site from there. As a reference point, the XC Ski Center is located half a mile east of the Osceola Hotel. Google maps link: http://bit.ly/OsecolaXC ; GPS coordinates: 43.499682, -75.712852.
