Trip Description
Owasco flats is a beautiful remnant floodplain forest situated along the inlet to Owasco lake. This area contains lakeside forests that flood during high lake levels and streamside floodplain forests that support a forest dominated by oaks and hickories in a narrow band of drier sandy soil along the creek. Interestingly some of the hickories in this area are the state threatened Big Shellbark (Carya laciniosa) and its hybrid Dunbar’s Hickory (Carya ×dunbarii).Most trails are well maintained and level with few small hills.
We will spend most of our time on a maintained trail, with occasional optional excursions off trail. The hike will be about 1.5 miles.
