National Scenic Trail or Official Route (OT)
Part of the Finger Lakes Trail network and maintained by the Onondaga Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club, this trail is also part of the North Country Trail, linking the Finger Lakes Trail to the Adirondacks. Beginning on Cuyler Hill at the orange-blazed spur trail to Chippewa Falls, the Onondaga heads north while the Finger Lake Trail continues southeast to link with the Long Path at Slide Mountain in the Catskills.
