No dogs are permitted on the BSA camp property
The Bristol Hills Trail is an orange-blazed branch trail of the 900+ mile Finger Lakes Trail System. The trail winds over 50 miles from its northern terminus at Ontario County Park, through Naples, NY and on to it's southern terminus at the main Finger Lakes Trail / North Country Trail near Mitchellsville, NY.
The trail passes through three state forests, High Tor WMA as well as numerous private lands. It is due to these generous landowners that the trail is allowed to pass through their property. Be respectful of their land and stay on the trail and do not hike during hunting season when hunting restrictions have been posted.
