🌈 Upcoming Hike at Green Lakes State Park! 6/28 @ 9AM

CNY Hiking Hike at Green Lakes, June 28th at 9 AM.
Hike Location: Green Lakes State Park.
Address: 7900 Green Lakes Rd, Fayetteville, NY 13066.
Meetup Location: Outside the Environmental Center.
Meetup Time: Sunday, June 28th, 9am.
Join us on Sunday for a familiar trek around both lakes at Green Lakes State Park!
Do you know where the lake's signature blue-green color comes from? Microscopic bacteria in the lake create calcium carbonate particles that reflect blue-green light. Because the lake's water layers never mix (meromictic!), those particles stay suspended instead of sinking to the bottom.
Enter through the Main Entrance. Continue down the main park road until you approach the beach. Take a right when you see a sign for the Environmental Center pointing right. Outside the environmental Center is our Meeting Spot!

Oh Green Lakes... how we’ve missed you. Join us for a 3mi hike around our favorite meromictic lakes this upcoming Sunday, where we’ll be closing out our busy pride month (and attempting to beat the heat) with a relaxing morning stroll 🌞

📅 Date: Sunday, June 28th 2026 at 9am

📍 Hike Location: Environmental Center, Green Lakes State Park, 7900 Green Lakes Rd, Fayetteville, NY 13066 (Google Maps Directions)

Carpooling:

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

Accessibility & Notes:

The planned route around the lakes will be about 3 miles, and should take us around 1.5 hours. The route is relatively flat (one or two gradual inclines) and well maintained, but not paved.

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

Hope to hike with you soon! 💚

Some photos from our last Pride Hang & Hike at Highland Forest.

What a beautiful day for a hang & hike 💚 Thanks to everyone who made it out to our annual pride month bbq & potluck, and even more thanks to all the folks who helped us out with setup, grilling, & clean up! We really appreciate all of you so much 🫶

It was a beautiful day with some warm sun and a cool breeze... perfect weather to sit around in the forest, play some games, eat some food, do a little art & crafts, and spend time enjoying nature 👉🌱
