Lovely walk in the woods

Well-maintained and well blazed/signed. Trail is mostly in the woods with a few short country road-walks and a few meadows. The entire thing is 24 miles, and you can sometimes make loop hikes using country roads for those who don’t have a car spot/shuttle. There are two places to camp along the way, but you may need a permit(?). Some of the wooden bridges need to be repaired, though. Be careful on those, some of the planks are rotted and broken. Map can be found at hikechautauqua dot com. Hiked August 10-13, 2026
