WMS Map: Sugar Hill - Finger Lakes Trail
About Sugar Hill - Finger Lakes Trail ....
Today's explorations bring me to Sugar Hill State Forest and the Finger Lakes Trail. Lots of good places to hike and camp around here. I hear equestrians and snowmobiles like it two with miles and miles of trails to do, some a bit muddy from the shallow soil and horse hooves.
Helpful Hint: While I suggest you look on blog for a downloadable PDF Map, you should be able to print or save this map by clicking the print button on the map above.
