Trails
This hike follows one named trail: Hemlock Loop (blue blazes)
Hike Description
This short trail begins on the south side of the main parking lot at Personius Woods and heads southward. Hikers will reach a trail junction for the loop within a couple dozen feet from the trailhead -- this GPS track heads in a counter-clockwise direction. If following this track, hikers will head downhill toward Hoffman Creek first. The trail then runs along Hoffman Creek, passing a footbridge that starts the Scout Trail, and continues onward. After passing the footbridge, hikers will head up the small hill while passing through a hemlock forest to complete the loop at just 0.2-miles.
Parking
Hikers will find a small parking lot at the coordinates provided, located on the west side of West Hill Road in Elmira.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

Before you leave...
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
