The 138-mile Northville-Placid Trail is celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2024! Join Joan Collins for a bird walk on a section of this historic trail! We will hike 2 miles round trip from the trailhead on 28N in Long Lake (1.5 miles east of Stewart's). The hike will be on mostly level terrain with a few small hills. Participants will walk through a variety of habitats including boreal forest, marsh/bog, swamp and mixed forest. In mid-September, bird life will include both year-round and migrant species. Black-backed Woodpeckers are always a possibility in the boreal section of the trail. There is an outhouse at this location. This trip is jointly sponsored by Northern New York Audubon and the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Department. There is a maximum of 15 participants.
