Arctic-China State Forest

"I tried linking up with the Finger Lakes Trail System in this park but was foiled at multiple attempts at finding a trailhead. The FLTS online map seemed to be faulty in terms of indicating several parking lots on the map which didn’t exist in reality. At one such parking site, there was a sign posted warning against trespassing, and at other sites simply nothing was there. Where I did find one parking lot, the trail was poorly marked and faded out before progressing even one mile. This did not fill me with confidence so I turned back."

"It's nature, raw and beautiful . No amenities and that is perfect to me"

"So cute place. The girlfriend and I went there for hiking and we almost got lost in the woods. High recommend to have a map (available in the office) before you start."

"If you're coming from Rt.8 turn at giant ice cream cone at intersection of Rt.8 & Shear Rd. Park begins at end of town maintenance about a quarter to a half a mile down road from Rt.8. I parked in a pull-off beside the road, being careful not to park in someone's driveway. Beautiful walk into park, but be ready for the hills. Saw 2 does today."

"It's a nice forrest to walk in but the trail we intended to walk on was only mowed for about 50 feet and that ended in over - the - head grass so we switched to the section of the FLT that cut through. That was mostly nice but was very wet in many places."
