Griffis Sculpture Park, East Otto, NY

Visited January 1, 2022

Park Entrance: I used Google Maps: Griffis Sculpture Park, 6902 Mill Valley Rd, East Otto, NY 14729

$5 donation/entrance fee payable via the website: https://griffissculpturepark.org/

45-52 degrees Fahrenheit, no wind, 10:40 AM - 1:00 PM

No restroom facilities

As noted on website: "Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome. HOWEVER...you must plan that there are no receptacles to throw away your doggie's waste. You must bring it home." (Unfortunately, a number of dogwalkers took the time to bag their dogs' deposit but then left the bags on the trails.)

Our walk was just over two miles. We were there over two hours because we stopped to chat and visit while enjoying the trails. The temperature dropped while we were there resulting in some really great atmosphere.

The trail is gravel with a few slight inclines. There were very muddy sections.

There were four other vehicles who arrived or departed during our visit.

There was some trash along the trails, mostly drink containers and a lost mitten.

No mosquitos were awake today.

Parking: The lot at the Mill Valley Road is a small gravel lot.

We heard a few birds and saw a blue jay. There were mosses, mullein, and a variety of tree species including apple trees and oaks.
