The Pine Hills Trail System

Pine Hill State Forest has 24 miles of trails for equestrian use located near Onoville Marina.

Trails:

Wooded, easy with a minimum of elevation changes to more challenging trails, northern trails are old logging roads and mostly wider.

Footing:

natural wood’s soil; shoes are recommended, due to some rocks.

Markings:

DEC trail disc markers are used on all trails in the system. There are also wood trail name signs on all trails. We have left some of our original markers (pink ribbon on clothes pins) on some of the harder to find spots until the trail is worn in.

Camping:

Free camping is allowed at the Pineapple Junction Horse Camp on Carr Rd. There are eight large sites. There are high line poles at each site and a campfire area in the center. You will have to bring water. This is a carry in carry out area so please keep it nice for everyone. Please make sure to scatter manure in woods and do not leave piles or hay. If you plan to camp more than 72 hours, call the DEC Ranger for a free permit at 716-699-6154

Pineapple Junction Horse Camp on Carr Rd has a day parking area.
