Address: I used Google Maps to get to the trail head: Point A - Fred J. Cusimano Westside Overland Trail, Hannum Road, Mayville, NY.
Google Maps did not offer up the parking on Mount Pleasant Road so I referred to the downloaded PDF to find the large parking lot at the corner of Mount Pleasant Road and Titus Road. In the winter, it appeared that the only road access to the lot is off of Mount Pleasant Road.
Parking: Room for 5+ cars, dirt parking lot at Point A; Large parking lot for 30+ vehicles at Mount Pleasant Road.
29-32 degrees, no significant breeze, 10:00 AM-3:40 PM
No restroom facilities available
The trail is free.
Leashed pets are welcome but I left Wesley home today.
The trail has a natural surface interrupted by occasional wooden bridges.
I walked 11.7 miles on natural trails with up to four inches of snow; the trails had sections of mud and/or standing water both of which had some areas that were over four inches deep. The ground was not frozen as I hoped. The trail was quiet except for the sound of water, birds, and a few vehicles passing on the nearby roads.
The trail was well marked with blue metal markers for the first few miles. This section is well maintained. The rest of the trail had blue blazes. Some were faded and they were not as frequent as the blue metal markers at the beginning of the trail. There were sections in Mount Pleasant where the trail overlaps with a snowmobile trail and another section that overlaps and intersected with the Rails to Trails. In fact, I came out on a road where the signage made me realize that I was on the Rails to Trails and had left the Overland Trail which came out on the same road just a short distance to the left of the Rails to Trails so I was able to rejoin the Overland Trail.
I would not recommend a stroller for this hike.
The only people I saw the entire time I was on the trail were two men who were exiting the trail as I was starting. Except for a section in Mount Pleasant of less than a mile, there were other boot tracks and dog tracks on the entire trail. Since we had fresh snow during the previous night, I assume they had used the trail earlier the same day.
I did not see any trash while on this section of trail.
No mosquitos today.
I saw people prints, dog prints, deer prints and coyote prints. There were ground pine, fern, blackberries, and a variety of tree species including staghorn sumac, oaks, birch, beech, hemlocks and maples. I scared off one deer and some large-winged birds; I heard their winged takeoff but did not see them. I saw a chickadee and heard its beautiful song just before the end of my hike. I saw and heard a few other winter birds in the same area but they did not sit still long enough for me to identify them.
