Finger Lakes National Forest

The Finger Lakes National Forest encompasses a large area of land intersected by numerous local trails, including segments of the Finger Lakes Trail and the North Country Trail. It provides opportunities for a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and primitive camping. The terrain varies from forested areas to open pastures and meadows, offering a unique hiking experience where trails sometimes traverse working farms. Visitors can enjoy a more secluded experience compared to the more popular gorges in the region.
