New Spot to Consider
I bumped into the Freeman’s NYS Outdoors blog today, which is one I should have been aware of because of their reknown the WNY area. They made mention of a State purchase of land:
More land in the Finger Lakes region will be protected from development now that the state has purchased 172 acres in the towns of Gorham and Junius, in Ontario and Seneca counties. The land will be available for recreation, but state environmental officials say a portion of the property is also needed to protect water quality and endangered species in and around Canandaigua Lake.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation purchased 95 acres immediately east of Canandaigua Lake in Gorham, Ontario County, and 77 acres known as the Junius Ponds Complex in Junius, Seneca County. The state will keep the land open for hunting, fishing, trapping, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and camping.
Nonetheless, sounds like the Gorham area might be worth a visit. I’ll have to check my maps, and see exactly what I’ll be dealing with down there.
At least on State land, I won’t have to deal with any posted signs :) (Well, here anyways… don’t assume all State land is free to use…)
