Finger Lakes Trail

So tonight, uh, is episode 240.

Tonight Rob Potter joins us, who just completed the Finger Lakes Trail.

Uh, it's like 490 something miles.

Uh, and he just ...

Yeah

...

Rob finished the Finger Lakes Trail, which crosses into the Catskills, uh, a little bit more towards the end, so has to do with the Catskills.

But, you know, I, we've never heard about the Finger Lakes Trail.

I am.

So for my 77th birthday, I climbed the highest mountain in the Catskills, Slide Mountain, 4,184 feet, and it is the eastern terminus of the 584-mile Finger Lakes Trail, which I've been hiking over a period of years.

So, uh, yeah, I still stay fit, and I-

Good for you

Usually, you know, the waterfalls, and then you can get back into your car, drive a little bit more and then reaccess, uh, that gorge trail.

And if you're a serious hiker, you've got the finger lakes trail that goes along the, the, what I call even less developed, more rugged Eastern rim of the park.

So it's a 24 mile trail.

So you got plenty there and it intersects, it's the Finger Lakes Trail, so it intersects with the Finger Lakes Trail System, which is probably, let me see, 580 miles of hiking that, well, it's 580 miles long, but if you count all the side trails on the Finger Lake Trail System, it's about a thousand miles.

So if you want to do some serious hiking and use Letchworth as your base camp, You're not going to have any problems with that.

But you can stay in the state park and you still got 66 miles of really cool hiking.

We encourage volunteering.
