You can use both the revision date and the Map Revision Notices to decide if you want to purchase a fresh copy of a map. For all map changes, we post a Map Revision Notice on the Trail Condition Notices page on the website. We also apply minor updates to our maps as needed, and for these, we do not change the Revision Date. When we do, we change the Revision Date of the map.

We revise paper maps, PDF files, and GPX files when trail conditions change significantly. Dates are listed on Hunting Season Schedules.Īnd, when you are ready, join us as a volunteer to help keep the Finger Lakes Trail one of the best hiking trails in the world.Īre my paper maps, PDF files, and GPX files up to date? Closures are listed in red in the Trail Condition Notices. Remember, some sections of the trail are closed during hunting seasons which include Spring and Fall turkey seasons, and Fall big game seasons. Whether you are a new or experienced hiker, if you find a problem on the trail, let us know! Visit the Trail Condition Reporting page for more information. Our volunteers are the first to know when land ownership may change, or when the landowner has had a problem on their section of trail. Trail volunteers also interact with our private landowners who have agreed to share a portion of their property with FLT hikers. In short, they look for things that will interfere with your wilderness hiking experience. They visit their section of trail several times each year to look for problems: trail erosion, litter, vegetation infringement on the trail, fallen trees and branches, blazes and signs that need to be replaced or refreshed, and infrastructure that needs repair. They also care about your experience on the trail. These people volunteer their time because they care about the Finger Lakes Trail. Every section of the trail is maintained by stewards and trail adopters who are members of the FLTC and affiliate clubs and organizations. Nevertheless, we want the condition of the Finger Lakes Trail to be the best it can be. On the other hand, if you are looking to challenge yourself and get away from “engineered” experiences, then come to the Finger Lakes Trail. The FLT is a “primitive footpath.” If you are looking for a smooth, easy “walk in the park” then you might prefer a park for your walking. Conditions are rectified if and when volunteers are available. Trail Conditions are posted when reported and verified.

But please read How to Report Trail Conditions before submitting your report. You can help by reporting problems you see. Click the “Archived” link to view these notices. Some older notices have been archived as they may contain information that is still useful if you have not visited the trail recently. When sorted by Date the notices are listed with the most recent notices anywhere on the FLTC system listed first. Use these notices to decide when you want to replace an outdated map. All changes to maps-both major revisions and minor updates-are reported as Trail Notices highlighted in pink. Check the revision date on your map to see if it might be outdated. The date of the most recent major revision is shown for each map.
