The Purple Trail at Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve in West Danby, New York is an easy 0.6-mile one-way trail that features a peaceful forest setting.
Hike Description
This trail begins along the Orange Trail at the park and this track starts at the western-most trailhead for the Purple Trail. Hikers will follow the purple blazes of this trail as it meanders its way through the forest. There isn't much to note along this trail outside of a possible newt/salamander sighting. The trail ends again along the Orange Trail just uphill from the western trailhead.
Parking
Visitors will find a parking lot at the coordinates provided. It's large enough to fit a half-dozen vehicles or slightly more.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
Warnings
Buggy: This trail can be very buggy during warmer months. The kettle holes, ponds, and stagnant bodies of water help mosquitos, horseflies, and even ticks thrive here.
Poison ivy: This trail tends to have a lot of poison ivy located just off-trail. The path is skinny as well, which makes it easy to accidentally step on the poison ivy as well.

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.
