Great Swamp and Corbin Hill

Hike Description

1. Walk south on NY 22 from the parking area, turn right onto a dirt road at 0.1 mile, and cross the railroad tracks at the Appalachian Trail Station.
2. Soon follow an elevated boardwalk across the wet areas of Great Swamp, crossing Swamp River on a footbridge at 0.4 mile. Cattails grow in great numbers beside the Trail here, a whimsical reminder of the water below.
3. Begin the steady, but gradual climb along the side of Corbin Hill. Open meadows provide the views. It is time to turn around when the trail enters the woods near the top of the rise.
4. Retrace your steps to complete the hike.
