Learn about the magic of mushrooms with Genesee Land Trust and Rochester Area Mycological Association.
Walk and Trail Description:
We will meet in the parking lot where the trail starts out as packed gravel and transitions to a grass surface, approximately 5’ wide. As you enter the woods, the trail becomes compacted soil and splits to the left and right.
We will take a left as we enter the woods, a compacted soil trail will lead us towards the east half of the Preserve. We will then take another left at the second fork in the trail, leading us to the observation deck. We will then head back to the parking lot the same way we came.
If you are interested in a longer route, please check out our afternoon walk.
See the Macyville Woods trail map below for locations of trails. For a general description on trail surfaces, visit this link on Trail Surface Types (Maine Trail Finder).
