Highland Forest Nature Trail, Fabius, NY, USA

Today was high 60s and overcast. Very Muddy in long sections at low points and where the trail sees the most traffic. Having said that, today wasn’t busy. I saw one hiker and 3 on horseback. The trek is Predominantly through forest. Trail markers are everywhere, even on down trees 😂. South East end of the “main trail” becomes weird. Heavy overgrowth with prickers prevented me from continuing having shorts on, and had to find detours via the south trail. “Not marked on Gaia app” there was a Fair amount of stream crossings. Some of the trail was nicely bordered with beams and gravel, most of the trail was groomed well. Not a difficult descent or ascent but for not having done an 8+ mile loop before, it definitely worked my body over. The lodge has a beautiful view of the valley.
