Hog's Back Trail

The Hog's Back Trail at Pfeiffer Nature Cetner's Lillibridge Property in Portville, New York is an easy 0.2-mile one-way trail that connects Merrick's Run with the Thornton Thruway Trail.

This beautiful woodland trail is very easy if hiked from north to south; however, that means hikers need to first climb Merrick's Run which is not easy at all. If hiked south to north, the trail is still an easy hike despite the short ascent uphill.

The Hog's Back Trail can be used in junction with the Thornton Thruway Trail and others to make an outer-perimeter loop hike along the property.

Parking
Hikers can find parking at the coordinates provided. The parking lot is large enough to fit about 8 large vehicles.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.

Blaze Color
