Canopus Lake Hike
Hiking/Trekking in New York with Outdoor Bound Adventures
Highlights
- Hike on the famous Appalachian Trail
- Take a dip in Canopus Lake
- Breathe in fresh woodland air as you explore the forest trail
Full Description
An easy-to-moderate hike on the Appalachian Trail.
This beautiful hike takes us on a section the Appalachian Trail as it winds through the forest in this beautiful state park. Lunch is at a high point with a splendid vista overlooking all of Canopus Lake. We'll take a trail down to the lake for a dip and some sunning, then make our way back along a craggy path.
This is the "easiest" level of hike we do, but you must be in good physical shape. This it is not a walk, it is a hike. You will sweat, you will gain hundreds of feet in elevation, you will be walking on a rocky path and climbing over streams and trees at points. In summer, bring or wear your swimsuit for a dip in the lake!
