Need a tent campsite overnight for hunting in November
As long as there isn’t snow/ice on that road, you should be good, but it’s not plowed beyond the start of the forest preserve.
Andy, is this still accurate? Looking at NYSGIS NYS Streets Layer data suggests that the road, well into the Preserve, is classified as “FCC = A41: Local, neighborhood, rural road, city street, unseparated”. The NYS Streets data dictionary (found here: https://gis.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2023/07/streets_data_dictionary.pdf) explains those FCC code designations. It IS a state-wide dataset, and seasonality /limited-use designations of roads is a Town Highway matter, so there could be wide variability in the accuracy of that dataset. I would lvoe to hear it is indeed plowed up to and beyond Huntley Pond (and the Blue Ledges trailhead), though!
I haven’t been up there in about a decade, but I doubt it’s plowed beyond the last house on the road. In the winter it’s baracaded by a simple saw horse and a road closed sign, not physically blocked with a jersey barrier like some roads. I don’t put much faith in the seasonal use code in the Streets database, as the only place it’s widely used is Livingston County.
