Mossy Bank Park Overlook at Mossy Bank Park in Bath, New York is an easy 0.2-mile walk to explore the views of Bath, the Cohocton River, and the surrounding hills.

This is not a hike but rather a short walk that leads to a drive-up overlook pavilion. Visitors, if they wish, can walk down the steep hillside (as depicted in this trail) to the Green Trail at the park which provides a similar, but slightly different view of the Cohocton River, the town of Bath, and the surrounding hills. The hillside walk down is quite steep.

Parking
Visitors will find several parking turnouts near the coordinates provided, located on the skinny driveable dirt road labeled Overlook Road.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and cleaned up after.

Warning
Garter snakes: During warm months, the Green Trail's overlook section is a popular spot for Garter snakes to sunbathe. While not an issue, they might not be favorable for folks who don't like snakes, thus you can stay up top at the overlook pavilion.

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!️
