The Town of Inlet will commemorate National Trails Day on Saturday, June 1 with a hike led by Mitch Lee of the Inlet Information Office.
Lee will take hikers on the three to four hour tour of the DEC’s newly built Seventh Lake community connector trail in Inlet. This trail now connects The Moose River Plains primitive camping area to Sagamore Road in Raquette Lake for hiking, mountain biking and snowmobiling.
Interested participants can meet at 9 a.m. at the Inlet Town Hall located at 160 Route 28. The hike, an approximately six-mile round trip, will begin from the Seventh Lake boat launch parking area. Hikers will have the opportunity to explore a portion of the trail as it winds its way west towards the Moose River Plains Wild Forest entry point, located at the Three Mile Marker.
Hikers should pack a lunch, wear good sturdy footwear, and apply bug spray or wear head nets as it is black fly season. The terrain is moderate but has some steep climbs and wet portions.

The length of the hike will be about 6 miles round-trip.
