Length: 2 Hours

Cost: $20/person

Location: Meet at Trailside Lodge, Letchworth State Park

In this field practice we'll continue to put map and compass together to find hidden treasures in Letchworth State Park. Practice how to correctly orient a map outdoors, estimate distance, and successfully discover orienteering markers. Continued fun and you'll see a part of Letchworth that's hardly seen by visitors, with a few surprises guaranteed!

We'll be bushwacking in the woods, so wear seasonally comfortable clothing. Depending on temperature, ticks and other insects may be present. Long pants, headlamp, snacks and water highly recommended.

Trail Otter has compasses if you need to purchase for the course.
