we hiked the backbone trail on a cold day that was spitting snow. it was really lovely and we were treated to a deer just leaving the creek after getting a drink. we were the only ones on the entire trail. it would be nice to go back and explore some of the other trails
4. Henry A. Smith Woods
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10 reviews
Henry A. Smith Woods is a 32-acre old-growth forest located in Trumansburg, New York. It features hiking trails through this unique part of nature which has laid largely undisturbed since before the first settlers. In 1909, this undeveloped forest fragment was given by the sons of Henry Atterbury Smith (1822-1891), a New York City businessman, to the village to be forever preserved as a public park. The woods are now owned by the Cayuga Nature Center, which is committed to preserving it for future generations as an educational resource. An old-growth forest, also known as a primeval or virgin forest, is one that does not have any significant disturbance, particularly human, and usually has unique biodiversity features. Most forests in North America are secondary forests--in that they have been cut down and have since regrown. Old growth forests often have communities of plants and animals that have survived for long periods, sometimes even rare species that are not found elsewhere.

This is a beautiful protected woodland, not very large at all, and sandwiched between a couple roads, a grocery store, and a state highway/main drag. And yet once inside it's possible to forget all of that. It's also surprisingly diverse given its size. A number of trees are labeled and explained, which makes it gently educational. The canopy is quite dense, so it can be chilly in the mornings or evenings.
