National Trails Day

National Trails Day

  

Join us on Saturday, June 1st, for National Trails Day in Whallonsburg.

  

Join us for this National Trails Day hike in partnership with the Whallonsburg Grange celebrating local artist Ted Cornell.

  

Join Champlain Area Trails for a morning hike on a new trail that connects the Art Farm to Whallonsburg. The 4.5-mile hike will take you through forests, fields, and alongside creeks. We will meet at 9 am at the Whallonsburg Grange and take shuttles to the Art Farm to view Cornell's sculpture art on the property before the hike. If you prefer not to do the full hike, you can take later shuttles to tour the farm.

  

The hike is moderate-level, and touring the Art Farm is suitable for beginners. After the hike, you can take the shuttle back to enjoy the art exhibit at Whitcomb's Arts. Afterward, everyone will meet at Whitcomb's Arts for an optional $15 lunch from River and Rails Market & Deli and a presentation on Ted Cornell's art.

  

WHAT TO BRING: Bring good shoes for hiking that can get muddy, as it is early June in the Adirondacks. Additionally, bring water and snacks.  

  

DIRECTIONS: We will meet at the Whallonsburg Grange and take shuttles to the Art Farm trailhead. The parking is at 1610 NY-22, Essex, NY 12936.  Click here for Google Maps directions.
