The White Trail at The Gully Preserve in Wayland, New York is a moderate 0.3-mile out-and-back hike that leads along the top of the Little Mill Creek gorge with obstructed views of several waterfalls.
Hike Description
This hike begins along the northern side of Whiteman Gully Road at the white blazed trail sign. Hikers will follow this trail uphill for the entire way until they reach a dead end. Along the way you can hear the rushing water of the many waterfalls that cascade down Little Mill Creek below - including Flume Gully Falls. Although most of the waterfalls are obstructed by tree branches and leaves, hikers still get a beautiful hike along this trail. As of May 2023, there were several blowdown trees located just before the signage for private property - where the trail ends. There, hikers can get a "decent", but obstructed view, looking up another portion of Little Mill Creek.
Parking
Hikers will find two very small parking turnouts just
west of the trailhead along Whiteman Gully Road. The turnouts are large
enough to fit about 3 vehicles each, max.
Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and cleaned up after.
