Tuesday Hike (Hybrid)-Cobbs Hill Park-Washington Grove

Note - This hike is cross-posted from the ADK-GVC Event Calendar:
https://adk-gvc.org/calendar/…

Hybrid hike split between a 40-minute hike around the reservoir and on flat, well-maintained trails in Washington Grove looping back to the cars, then a 70-minute moderate hike at a faster pace circling Cobbs Hill with 2 descents/climbs and a brief stop at the Portage Trail plaque for the rest of the 2-hour hike. Meet 9:45am at Cobbs Hill Reservoir, parking on Reservoir Rd (43.13958, -77.56959) alongside Washington Grove before the Monroe County Radio Center Bldg for a 10:00am hike start. Please dress for the weather, wear boots or trail shoes with good traction, bring some water to drink and some tick/mosquito repellent. Hiking poles would be useful on the steeper trails. Contact Jim Bishop at adk.gvc.trpldr@gmail.com with any questions. Dogs are not allowed on this hike.

Our hybrid hike consists of 2 hikes that allow us to drop off hikers who prefer a 40-minute to 1-hour easier hike at a slower pace with less elevation change, then continue with the 2nd hike for the rest of the 2 hours at a faster pace with some short climbs. This allows all of us to keep hiking together, when some of our old and new friends need to shorten their hike or some are just starting back hiking after a time off or recovering from surgery.

You must read and sign the “club’s release of liability form” which will be available at the parking lot.
