Canopy Section cut and visual character

Part 1

The overwhelming sound of the highway and low trail maintenance created an overall negative experience until summiting the southern drumlin. Despite the noise this location provides scenic views to a rural country side.

Places of Interest:

Montezuma Cayuga County

Bay Bridge Old Reservoir
Take winding trail to the peak of the south drumlin. Turn right onto summit walk

Fence Runs

Located at the end of Seneca trail

Part 2

The west side of the southern drumlin is warmer and drier due to increased amount of sun penetration. The noise of I-90 faded, but was still noticeable, and Paradox path was uneventful until our team reached the Aqueduct.

Aqueduct Ruins
Take the main walk all the way to the end
Seneca trail was scenic, but monotonous as we walked along the shore. Seneca trail opens up to scenic views, but gets muddy at times around trench foot pass. Occasionally swampy/damp smells were detected. Seneca path
