Catharine Creek Wildlife Management Area

Catharine Creek Wildlife Management Area offers public access via Rock Cabin Road, a seasonal gravel road with a small parking area and observation tower located halfway down.

The area features hiking trails including a portion of the Finger Lakes Trail, with easy dirt paths suitable for short walks, though visitors should note that only marked trails are permitted due to the protected wetland ecosystem.

Access is free and open dawn to dusk, but Rock Cabin Road conditions should be checked before visiting, especially outside summer months.
