Smith Woods
Total distance: 1.1 miles
Difficulty level(s): easy
Smith Woods is one of the few remaining old growth forests in central New York (32 acres), distinguished by its accessibility and flat terrain, bordering the Village of Trumansburg. Large beech, hemlock and maples inhabit the site, along with 20 other tree species and many spring ephemerals. There are three trails that traverse the forest - all converge near the beginning of the trai and at the other end along Rt. 96 near the ShurSave. This forest is across from the fairgrounds. It is fenced in to prevent deer browsing. Please close the gate.
