MAP M9 – MAIN FINGER LAKES TRAIL - WHITE BLAZES MAP M9 Miles Description of Trail from West to East 0.0 Access 1 Left off Slader Creek Rd, County Road 13C, to

cross Slader Creek, sometimes higher than boots (1590'). Take tractor lane to left of barn ahead, bearing right, then left, and gradually uphill. Note: Landowner requests that gates be left as you found them, either open or closed. Sometimes the cows are kept in the upper pasture, at others they need to go through the gates to the lower pasture. Follow field edge uphill along left (E) side until woods at top (1810'), where soon state forest begins. Views backward!

1.1 Trail register. Blue blazed trail goes left 200’ to campsite with seasonal spring. Gently climbing in woods follows.

2.5 Left to cross stream. 2.6 Camping on dirt floor among pines on east side of pond. 2.7 Right onto dirt road (2030'), which passes a second visible

pond where there is camping on grassy area on west side of dam. Shoulder parking at south end of Bill Morris Road.

3.1 Right onto Roots Road after gate that is usually open. Roads are not plowed in winter.

3.3 Access 2 Left off road (2040’). No parking. Generally level ahead through an old stone quarry area.

4.0 Cross pretty stream under hemlocks. Register on other side. Notice water going southeast; watershed now toward Susquehanna River.

4.3 Cross DEC road (2040'). Start descending soon after. 5.1 Left onto old road remnant (1900'). Still descending, soon

notice modern dirt road on right. 5.3 Blue spur trail to right (W) leads 250’ to parking lot off Gas

Springs Rd. Room for 6 cars. 5.7 Access 3 Left onto seasonal Gas Springs Rd (1720') and

downhill from there. Shoulder parking. 6.0 Left onto paved N. Almond Valley Rd, Allegany CR 32, with

views across Canisteo River’s farm valley. 6.2 Right onto Bush Rd, plowed in winter to near here. 6.6 Access 4 Left off road into state forest, just before seasonal

road sign (1640'). Shoulder parking. Climb gradually through woods spot-logged in the early 1990s.

7.3 Just before junction of little streams, primitive campsite with outhouse (1850'). Drop to streams and then more climbing.

7.9 Cross Mike Dixson Rd (2100') to 300' of puncheons through plantations of spruce and red pine, to top elevation of 2200'.

8.4 Left onto old dirt road. In 500' go straight when newer road bears right, downward on old lane.

8.8 Access 5 Seasonal Karr Rd (1980') parking. Follow blue blazes to right on Karr Rd around bend to piped spring. Trail goes straight, then quick right just after bridge over creek. Trail parallels creek south through woods, crossing a few small tributaries. Very nice section, gently downhill.

10.4 Access 6 Right onto Bully Hill Rd (1590'), cross creek on bridge, then immediate left alongside stream. Short climb to level woods, then climb gently again. Occasional winter views down valley where Interstate 86 runs. Trail register.

11.4 Cross Karr Rd at elevation 2000' into level forest along old lane where big edge trees were logged a few years ago. Parking just to south on west side of road.

12.1 Leave gate as you find it. Immediate left (NW). Trail enters private land from state forest. Descend from 1900'.

12.5 Trail goes left (N) at junction of Blue-blazed spur, straight, (E).

12.7 Access 7 Bishopville Rd (1580'), paved, some traffic, and homes. Left onto road, and descend to 1520' over creek bridge, then right immediately. . Note: Trail ahead is closed for hunting on private land for 0.2 miles from here Oct. 1 - Dec. 31 and May 1 - 31. Bypass closed trail using Wilson Karr Rd. Park across from here on the mowed area on the west side of road just south of driveway, not on the road. Descend to creek, and then bear right on other side up switchbacks. At top of short climb bear left to section paralleling Bishopville Rd below in young woods.

13.2 Left onto highway department’s dirt road. 13.5 Walk around gate, then hard right up Wilson-Karr Rd,

another dirt road, not onto paved Bishopville Rd (1590’). 14.1 Right on Bishopville Rd. 14.8 Right on Pennsylvania Hill Rd. 15.2 Left off Pennsylvania Hill Rd. just after edge of shoulder

parking on N side of road. Do not block gate into field. Note: Trail ahead is closed for hunting on private land from here to Access 9, mile 17.3 on Webb Rd. Oct. 1 - Dec. 31 and May 1 - 31. Bypass closed trail using Pennsylvania Hill Rd.

15.5 Views to the northwest, then cross into Steuben County. 16.1 Access 8 Fitzgerald Rd (1780’) after views east and SE.

Shoulder parking on north side; do not block gate. 16.4 Taking the blue blazed side trail to the right (S) leads 0.2

miles to Webb Rd. Shoulder parking (1630'). The blue blazed trail continues south after crossing Webb Rd 2.0 miles to Kanakadea Lean-to, with outhouse. Reliable streams just south of lean-to and 0.3 miles back along the blue blazed trail. 1.7 miles south of Webb Rd, yellow non-FLT trail leads 1 mile east through pedestrian tunnel under I-86 (not passable in winter) and across CR 66 with off-road parking to Kanakadea County Park at Almond Dam.

17.2 After beaver ponds, go left before gate at electric fenced horse pasture through young trees and across little streams. Climb bank to road.

17.7 Left onto fairly busy paved County Road 66, Webbs Crossing Rd. Church on left. Ask if parking is ok.

18.1 Right off road through fields and follow old tractor lane uphill to woods above at top elevation of 1700' and trail register.

18.8 Descent has begun; at bottom right corner of field, re-enter woods. Level, then steadily down on logging lanes.

19.3 Pass under power line; watch for blazes on descending trails among multitude of ATV tracks near bottom.

19.5 Cross busy railroad at 1170' elevation. Left on other side of RR onto level path of old Pittsburg Shawmut & Northern RR.

E-mail corrections/comments to trailreport@fingerlakestrail.org (if no e-mail call the FLTC Service Center at 585-658-9320). When map and marked route differ: follow signs, blazes, or even temporary flagging tape. This section of trail was built by the Genesee Valley Hiking Club, Rochester and is maintained by: AP 1-4, NYS Assoc. of Transp. Engineers, Section 6; AP 4-6 David Newman; AP 6-7 Peter Wybron; AP 7-10 ADK – Genesee Valley Chapter. The spur trail from Fitzgerald Rd. to the Kanakadea Lean-to by Adam Clark. REGULATIONS: 1. Do not stray from the trail. 2. Fires and camping only at designated areas. 3. Take your litter back home. 4. Purify all water used along trail. 5. Road Hiking: Stay on shoulder off vehicle surface, travel single file, facing oncoming vehicle traffic. 6. Private land: No bicycles, horses, motor-powered vehicles or snowmobiles unless landowner has given operator written permission for such use.

Public land: No bicycles, horses, motor-powered vehicles or snowmobiles unless trail is marked to allow their use. No camping within 150’ of water sources, roads, or the trail unless designated as such by the public agency.

7. Because the FLT crosses varied terrain, steep slopes, rough footing, and watercourses, hikers must realize that they are responsible for their own safety and judgment in selecting hikes that are within their capabilities.

8. Dogs should be leashed when on the trail on private properties and most state park lands. The dog policy is available on the FLT website.
