Bring lunch , water and insect repellant  A long hike in Fahnestock State Park that will take us past 2 small lakes, a scenic creek and through a farm. There are some gradual, but long inclines and a nice view of the farm and the lakes we had just visited. Parts of the trails are single file and narrow. We will cross Glynwood Road and cross Clove Creek by stepping on 12 large, flat rocks. This is over 5 miles in to the hike and you will not be able to turn back. There is no walking on Glynwood Road as it is private road. We will stop for lunch at the top with a view of the lake and farm center before walking through the farm on the way back to the parking lot.

We will be parking at the Big Woods Parking lot on State Route 301. 1498 Route 301 Carmel, NY 10512
