The Sensitivity Trail a Spencer Crest Nature Center in Corning, New York is an easy 0.2-mile loop trail that features fossil rocks and art exhibits in the middle of the woods.

This short boardwalk trail allows hikers to reach other trails at Spencer Crest Nature Center since this is one of the first trails that leads into the park. Following this trail counter clockwise, hikers will first pass a short spur trail that leads to some rocks with fossilized plants. Continuing onward, the trail hits two trail junctions at the southern end of the loop - one with the Laurel Lane Trail and the High Meadow Trail.

To finish the loop, continue hiking along the boardwalk until reaching the trailhead.

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!️
