🌻As the weather phases into the spring season, New York State Park trails turn into muddy season!

🌨️Everyone wants to be spending the glorious days outside and though people are ready, our trails have not had time to recover from winter.

👣Most trail systems in NYS Parks in and around the Genesee valley are natural tread, meaning they were carved through the material present.

📝Here are some helpful tips to follow before you begin your hike…

👟Wear snug shoes that don't slip off easily and that you are ok getting dirty/ruined.

🧦Bring an extra pair of shoes, socks and clothes for after the hike!

🚶As a trail steward, it is important to stick to the trail, even if it's really muddy so trails don't continue to widen.
