Connecticut Hill WMA 📍

The Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area is the largest of its kind in New York State, totaling 11,645 acres. It’s located 16 miles southwest of Ithaca and one mile northeast of Alpine, astride the Tompkins-Schuyler County line. As part of the Appalachian Highlands, Connecticut Hill lies within a belt of high, rugged land. Since this is one of the highest points in the area, panoramas can be viewed from atop the Hill to the surrounding lowlands. State Route 13 provides access to the area along the eastern side.

Connecticut Hill WMA Roads

Driving some of the rough roads in Connecticut Hill WMA, going slowly not to totally trash my suspension. Powers Road to Todd Road to Swain Hill Road. Bumpy! Almost didn't clear that tree with my kayak on my big truck, swaying back and forth of those rough road.

Pony Hollow

I am not actually sure where exactly that Finger Lakes Trust parcel is that they are adding to Connecticut Hill WMA, but if I were to guess it I am thinking it's off of Pony Hollow between the WMA and Newfield State Forest. I could be wrong though.
