Route Description
This isn't quite as "adventure" oriented as the ADK ADV LOOP and is more about exploring the backroads and state forests through the farmland in NY.
Eventually it'll go through the Binghamton area and connect up with itself south of Ithaca / Cortland but this is the route in it's current state with a shorter loop up through Oneonta.

Camping
In New York State you can camp anywhere on state land given that you are at least 150' from any road, trail, or stream, and not in an area designated by "no camping" signs. There are also several state campgrounds located throughout the park. For more information check out: https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/camping.html
Season
Many of the seasonal roads aren't maintained through the winter and often have snow on them through the end of May. Some roads are gated and won't be open until May 31.
