Hike at Oatka Creek Park, Garbutt, NY near Scottsville, NY

Join Margaret and Shelly for this Hike

This event is limited to 20 members.

We will be hiking the trails in Oatka Park, a Monroe County Park, located about 20 miles southwest of Rochester. Hiking time will be about 1.5 hours – 3 miles – but we can hike more if desired.

Description of Trails in Oatka Creek Park: Generally considered an easy route, there are diverse environments to hike: woods, meadows, or along the creek. Rated: C mostly easy, there are a couple brief spots where poles might be helpful. Also the trail along the creek has lots of roots to step over however we could take a parallel trail that does not have as many tree roots to step over.
