The Almond-Hornell Overlook within Canacadea State Forest in Hornell, New York is a universally-accessible drive-up vista that features views of the Almond-Hornell area.
This is not a hike but rather a roadside stop that features views of the surrounding hills and valleys near Almond and Hornell New York.
State Forest Driving
Note that to reach this vista, you must drive through almost the entire state forest area via dirt roads. Some parts of the road get washed out by rain and snow melt, causing ruts and potholes. Low-clearance vehicles may have a harder time reaching the view.
Universal Access
Note that visitors do not need to leave their vehicle to enjoy this vista. You can simply drive up to enjoy the view, hence the universal accessibility. The walk out is not accessible.
Parking
There's a large parking turnout at the coordinates provided, located at the dead-end of the state forest road.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
