Did you know that the DEC Region 8 headquarters in Avon have trails and ponds that were once usable by horses? I called the DEC a while ago and apparently the former person in charge used to allow horse traffic on the DEC 8 trails. Since his retirement, horse traffic on this property has been held up in limbo! I’ve been told that while there currently aren’t any rules against horses on the property there aren’t any allowing them either.
Stop by the DEC some time and hike the trails. If you’re interested in helping to preserve these free trails for horse use. Let them know.
To get to the DEC from Rochester:
- 390 South to Exit 10
- Left on to 5 & 20
- On Right after Dutch Hollow Rd
To let the Region 8 DEC know you want to ride on their trails contact:
Regional Director: Sean Hanna
6274 E. Avon-Lima Road (Rt 5 & 20)
Avon, NY 14414-9519
(585) 226-2466
