🌈 Upcoming Hike at Clark Reservation! 8/9 @ 9AM

CNY Hiking Hike at Clark Reservation State Park, August 9th at 9 AM
Hike Location: Clark Reservation State Park.
Address: 6105 E Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville, NY 13078.
Meetup Location: Trailhead Kiosk by Parking Lot.
Meetup Time: Sunday, August 9th at 9 AM.
Join us for a morning hike at Clark Reservation! Home to towering limestone cliffs above a rare meromictic lake (like the lakes at Green Lakes) and plants found almost nowhere else in New York.
This will be an intermediate level hike, weather-permitting we'll be hiking up and down some rocky terrain along the Cliff Trail for higher elevation and beautiful views.
Please wear shoes with good traction! Parking is $5/vehicle, paid at payment kiosk on arrival.

We’re excited for another beautiful summer morning hike! Clark Reservation sometimes feels like a hidden gem... despite having a glacial lake like nearby Green Lakes State Park, its tall rocky cliffs and lush forest provide a very different experience 🌿

πŸ“ Hike Location: Clark Reservation State Park, 6105 E Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville, NY 13078 (Google Maps Directions)

Carpooling:

If you need help getting to the trail or want to offer a ride, feel free to message us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram @cnyhiking and we’ll do our best to connect folks.

Accessibility & Notes:

As mentioned in the post, this is definitely an intermediate level hike! The terrain on the Cliff trail is more difficult to traverse than our usual hikes, and you’ll want to make sure you wear shoes with good traction for maximum safety during this hike.

Feel free to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Hope to hike with you soon! πŸ’š

Our Last Event - Nature Walk & Bioblitz at Lime Hollow

Some photos from our recent nature walk & bioblitz at Lime Holllow Nature Center

Thank you so much to everyone who made it out for our first ever Nature Walk & Bioblitz! While making our way to Chicago Bog from the Lime Hollow Visitor Center we found and photographed so many cool critters, plants, and fungi. We had a blast showing off our finds and helping each other contribute data to science while learning more about the world around us πŸ’š

As a group, we contributed the following to the PRI 2026 Spring East Finger Lakes Bioblitz:
- 325 Total Observations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
- 134 different species identified, with ~120 more distinct IDs more broad than species-level
