We headed up to Highland forest for a nice day to hike and it was my first time being at highland forest. July 3th week is when we went and it was nice and peaceful, not alot of ppl at all. We took the 3.5 trail and it was just the right amount of hiking that we were looking for– not easy and not extremely hard or long trail. We did forget the bug spray and wished we put some on before heading into the trail. Great park and great views!

Highland Forest Park is at its best in the Winter time when it provides some of the best XC skiing in the US. It is located in the snow belt that is directly below Syracuse, NY. The typically cold winters make for a great XC ski experience. On the weekends the shorter loops can be a little crowded but the longer loops tend to provide more solitude since they require the skier to be in good shape before attempting. Trail Access used to be free but the Onondaga County Parks department started charging several years ago. The charge is minimal and it is well worth it.
