Hiking in the winter months adds a whole new exper Hiking in the winter months adds a whole new experience to some of our favorite trails โ„๏ธ Check the last two posts for two of our favorite winter hikes (Birdsong Fairy Trail and Cumming Nature Center) or swipe for some pictures of other winter strolls we love! Pic 2: Wesley Hill Nature Preserve, Naples Pic 3: Lollypop Farm Walk, Fairport Pic 4: Tinker Park, Henrietta Pic 5: Genesee Valley Country Museum, Mumford (Nature Sunday) We'll add details to some of these in our story highlights! Where's your favorite spot to stroll in the Winter?
We can't talk about winter hikes without mentionin We can't talk about winter hikes without mentioning the @birdsongfairytrail at Mendon Ponds Park! We love this trail in the winter because of the many outdoor activities to entertain (with or without snow) plus indoor options to warm up as needed! Here you can walk the Fairy Trail, play on the small natural playground and visit the @wildwingsinc Nature Center and Bird of Prey Facility. (If you want to spend the full day here, drive a bit further into the park for an epic sledding experience) ๐Ÿ“Wild Wings and the Fairy Trail is located at Mendon Ponds Park, 27 Pond Rd, Honeoye Falls, NY 14472โฃ โฃ ๐Ÿšป Bathrooms are available in Nature Center Building when openโฃ โฃ ๐Ÿ•œ The Fairy trail is open daily, dawn to dusk. Wild Wings Nature Center and Bird of Prey Facility has very limited hours. Check before heading out!โฃ โฃ ๐Ÿ’ฒThe trail, Bird of Prey Facility and Nature Center is free to enter, however donations are encouraged when visiting Wild Wings!โฃ โฃ ๐Ÿšซ Dogs are not allowed โฃon the trail or in the buildings โฃ ๐Ÿฅพ The trail was very muddy on our recent visit. Wear boots!โฃ โฃ ๐ŸฆBring Bird Seed (or purchase inside Wild Wings when open)! Feeding the birds can be hit or miss. We've had success with busy toddlers and failed attempts with complete silence. It seems best to go when there is snow and in the mornings. The birds tend to be most active just beyond the last fairy house on the trail (near the owl shed of the loop back to the parking lot) but we also had success by the first bench on the trail. โฃ Have you gotten the birds to eat from your hand here? What are your tips?
By Popular Demand: Winter Hikes โ„๏ธโฃ โฃ @cum By Popular Demand: Winter Hikes โ„๏ธโฃ โฃ @cummingnaturecenter is probably our #1 spot to go for a hike in the winter. Not only do they have skiing and snowshoe options but their newest edition, "The Gnome Roam" made for a magical experience!โฃ โฃ โ„๏ธ Though you can enjoy this hike in any weather, try to head over after a fresh snow fall. The drive up to the nature center and the trail itself was breathtaking on our visit this past weekend! โฃ ๐ŸŒณ Upon arrival, head to the nature center building. Here you will check in, grab a map and you can ask for directions to the Gnome Roam (or other trail of choice!)โฃ โฃ ๐ŸงญThe Gnome Roam trail is about a 3/4 of a mile loop. The terrain is flat and easy but due to the winter weather conditions, a stroller is not recommendedโฃ โฃ ๐Ÿฅพ As for any trail at this time of year, bundle up! Depending on when you visit, there may be deep snow or muddy trails. Wear boots!โฃ ๐ŸŒผ As stated in the rule guide, search for treasures such as pinecones and acorns along the way. At the end of the trail, there is a spot to leave a gift for the gnomes! โฃ โฑ๏ธโฃ Typically, the Center is open Wednesday - Friday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM and Saturday - Sunday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Be sure to check https://rmsc.org/ before heading our for special events and/or schedule changes. โฃ ๐Ÿ’ฒ Admission is free for RMSC members! it is $5 per person or $15/family for non members. Children under 3, educators, active military personal and veterans are free. There is much much more to explore here including a natural playground, nature play room, and more. Head to our homepage (link in bio) for more information.
