How Is Everybody?

Hiked this trail about 4 weeks ago to the top. Definitely not a mountain bike trail, and was tough hiking with all the overgrowth.

Hi CMGMTB, did you hike the white marked trail or the red marked trail to the top of the mountain?

 

[CMGMTB]

@Brian Sipler took the white to the top and then came down the red trail. The red trail is definitely more clear.

Ok, thank you for the information.

Good morning. I walked a little of the Indian Purchase Trail again today but I forgot to take pictures. I didn’t get too far but I’ll be going again on Friday and I’ll make sure I take pictures.

Hi, I hope everybody is doing great. It’s almost hunting season and the Indian Purchase Trail is open to hunting so I want to be safe so I’ll probably wait until spring, when hunting season is over, to hike the Indian Purchase Trail again.

No hunting on Sundays in that area!!!
I've seen bow hunters in cush - county permit maybe?

 

[Brian Sipler]

Unfortunately, I have no way of getting to the Indian Purchase Trail on Sundays and the bow hunters in the Cushetunk Preserve probably do have a county permit to hunt there.

Hi, I hope everybody is doing great. In 2009, I followed the Vislocky property fields next to Pickell Park and I eventually went left through a gap in the trees and followed a dirt trail to the powerlines at the bottom of Cushetunk Mountain and there was a rock wall directly to the right of that trail and a black deer blind a little off to the left of the trail and I started following that trail up Cushetunk Mountain. It started out gradually going up the mountain but then it got so steep that I had to continue up on my hands and knees! I nearly slipped a few times but I eventually got to a plateau and that trail turned left along the plateau and went back down the mountain as a switchback which was so much easier than the way I went up the mountain. I ended up back at the powerlines and that black deer blind and the rock wall were both off to the left then. The way I went up the mountain was so scary and I’ll never do it again!

My life skills coach and I went on a little of the Indian Purchase Trail around 10 minutes ago and she took these 2 photos of me on the trail section near Dreahook Road.

I went on the Indian Purchase Trail yesterday but only to the spot where there was a little stream to the left of the trail in a little wooded area to the left of the houses. It was quite hot yesterday so I turned around there.

Good morning. I just remembered that in January this year, I followed the white marked Indian purchase trail to the power lines at the bottom of Cushetunk Mountain and I started to follow the white trail up Cushetunk Mountain but the trail got really steep. It got too steep to just walk up so I would have had to use both my hands and feet and I was scared so I turned around. I’ll probably go there Friday and I might check out the red marked trail instead.

I went on the Indian Purchase Trail about an hour ago and I went to where the trail goes down a small hill in the wooded area to the left of the houses and gets closer to a stream on the left but that section had higher grass and I didn’t want to get ticks on me so I turned around at the top of that hill. This is a photo I took at the top of that small hill.
