Hiking Difficulty

Moderate. We will be paddling about 2.5 miles in total on slow moving water and walking. No docks are available to get in and out of the boats. Walking will be off trail and through some shallow standing water, although in relatively level and easy to navigate terrain.

Trip Description

We will be exploring the high quality low floodplain forests off of the Conewango Creek, near Randolph in Cattaraugus County. A rich landscape with a diversity of sedges and other species that prefer rich low floodplains. Some plants we hope to see include Carex tuckermanii, C. typhina, Dioscorea villosa, and Glyceria septentrionalis. Boats will be needed. You can either bring your own boat or rent one. Everyone must have a Personal Flotation Devices (PFD-life jacket).
