Merrick's Run Trail at Pfeiffer Nature Center's Lillibridge Property in Portville, New York is a difficult 0.3-mile one-way trail that is considered one of the most difficult trails at the park and features a beautiful woodland setting.

This trail connects the Emery Trail to the Hog's Back Trail, passing the White Oak Trail along the way. The trail's grade is mostly moderate until it passes the White Oak Trail, which is where the trail's grade becomes more steep. While this trail is not very short, the climb up to the Hog's Back Trail is not easy and should be taken slowly by hikers of most skill levels. If hiking down this trail from east to west, the trail is certainly easier; however, the steeper grade should still be taken seriously - hike slow and with caution to watch for loose rocks along the trail.

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
This trail follows white blazes much like the rest of the trails at the Lillibridge Property, which can be confusing.

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!️
