We'll meet in the Cazenovia Lake parking area at Rts. 20 & 92 at 1pm to carpool across the street to the trailhead, since that parking area is relatively small.

Plan to hike 3-4 miles of some of Cazenovia Preservation Foundation's hilly trails. Located off the southwest corner of Cazenovia Lake, Fairchild Hill was originally part of the Lorenzo Family Estate. Today, Fairchild Hill is maintained primarily as a meadow, preserving its historical character while providing magnificent views of the Cazenovia Lake watershed. The railroad bed leading to the trailhead once served the Syracuse and Chenango Valley Railroad which ended in Earlville. A depot stood at the corner of Routes 20 and 92. We'll check out the remnants of the original railroad turntable that can be seen nearby. From the top of Fairchild Hill, a link trail continues through private property to 216 contiguous acres of woodland known as the Burlingame Area Trails.

Bring water, a snack, trekking poles, and a sense of adventure. Trails may be muddy.

Some of us will finish off our adventure with a trip to Meier's Creek Brewing Company located nearby.
