Spring Octet Challenge is here!

Now that Spring has arrived in the Mohawk Valley the urge to get out, explore and experience the outdoors in warmer weather tugs at us all. After the cold of winter and time spent indoors, it’s time to shed the “cabin-fever” feeling. 

Plan your hike

As you plan your spring-time excursions, the folks at Otsego Outdoors have provided some great ways to get out with different trails options for everyone during the Otsego Outdoors Spring Octet Challenge!

You can choose from 13 hiking destinations for the new Otsego Outdoors Spring Octet Challenge. Be ready for some mud along the way with lots of signs of spring. Going out for a hike before the snow melts? Check out some winter hiking safety tips and videos.
