This very pretty trail, new in fall of 21, is all on private land, courtesy of the landowner, and is named in honor of his Mother. There are several private trails that intersect the red blazed public trail. Please respect the landowner and stay on the blazed trails.

A connector trail to the northern part of the Village on the Park Park was constructed in Septmber 2023. It is blazed blue.

There are a couple of designated view points. One is at the end of a short stub public trail blazed blue.

The trail goes right in front of the landowner's house. Please be very respectful!

From the Fields Parking Lot off Rainbow Run

Driveway

This footpath begins in the Village on the Park (CR 9, Victor Egypt Rd, just north of the Thruway) parking lot off Rainbow Run. There is a detailed map of the park and its trails.

There is a section that is on driveway. Then it is a loop in woods that is 2- to 5-feet wide on a dirt or grass surface; there are some short sections in meadow land.

Follow the driveway east for 0.2 miles.

Woodlands Trail

Then comes a junction and trail kiosk. This begins the loop. While it can be transversed in either direction, we will turn to the north, left, and circle it clockwise.

It passes the Kiosk on a 6-foot wide grass surface. There is a short, blue blazed, trail on the left, to the west, that leads to a pond, a coverd bench, and a view point.

The main trail continues mostly north then where it turns east, off to the left, is a connector trail to the north end of the Park. It is blazed blue and crosses a little stream.

Continuing east on the main trail crosses a cleared section over a gas pipeline. After turning south in the woods, it narrows some to mostly 4-foot wide, with a few narrower points between trees.

There is a second view point that looks over another pond. The trail then comes to an old gravel road and turns west, right, to follow it.

Driveway

The road leaves the woods and opens into meadow. And again crosses the gas pipeline's clearing. There is a wire rope fence across the road/trail here. The old road becomes an active driveway, and the trail passes a home. Then comes to the junction point by the kiosk, and out to the parking lot.

Sounds Along The Way

At the beginning, and along the southern portion, you will hear the traffic of the Thruway. This quickly disappears as you pass into the woods.

Along the northern stretch, you may hear the sounds of gun fire. Over a hill and to the northwest is the Victor Rod and Gun Club's shooting range. The direction of fire is NOT toward the trail.

And birds. BIRDS! Yes, there are many bird sounds, if you are quiet.

Elevations and Distances

Caution: Elevations are from USGS. They are very precise, but not necessarily accurate. They may be from any place up to 100-feet from the trail!
