      Trail starts on Hartwick property ends on Oneonta City school property. Need to sign a waiver with Hartwick to legally use their property. But nobody is checking. In the near future land will be logged so enjoy this trail while you can

      Can anyone tell me if this trail is currently out of commission or you just have to sign a waiver with hartwick.

      Cloose as we xc Oneonta riders can get to a flow trail. Fun features, jumps, berms, and drop. Trail is also known as Recess.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
