Fall Creek Valley North

Description This site has a mix of old and young forests, in stands that have always been forested, were planted as forest, or have grown back naturally from abandoned fields. Here are dry steep slopes and ravines, as well as rich floodplains. Wetlands are found in old channels of Fall Creek that were abandoned long ago when the creek took a new course. Read More...

Location This forested area is north of Fall Creek, between Warren and Freese Roads. There are well-used trails through these areas. Some are part of the Cayuga Trail, which is also the best access to this natural area. The Cayuga Trail is marked with orange blazes. The best places to pick up the trail are at the Plantations Headquarters building, under the pergola next to the herb garden, or at the Stevens Suspension Bridge on Fall Creek, 0.1 mile east of the arboretum entrance on Forest Home Drive.   Attention! The trails pass close to high, steep banks along Fall Creek. The vistas are great, but for your own safety, please stay on the trail at all times. Bicycles are not permitted.
