The Great Eastern Trail enters the small Village of Addison on Cleveland Drive after descending from Pinnacle State Park.  This is the start of this six mile section of the Great Eastern Trail aka Crystal Hills Trail.  The village of Addison has a population of around 1800 and is located along the banks of the Canisteo River.  You'll find restaurants, grocery stores among other merchants in the village.  However, there are no over night accommodations located in the village (that we saw).

The GET leaves Pinnacle State Park at the gate along the old Pinnacle Road on Cleveland Drive (Vastbinder Road on the map below).  Turn left and follow the paved road.  Soon pass the Village of Addison sign.  At 0.5 miles reach the Canisteo River Access Site with picnic tables and grills. 

Canisteo River Access Site along Cleveland Drive

At 1.0 miles reach the junction of South Street.  The trail turns right onto South Street and immediately crosses Tuscarora Creek over a bridge.  At 1.15 miles you'll reach a traffic light and a major intersection which includes NY 417 aka Main Street.  The trail crosses this busy road at the light and follows Main Street (NY 417) through downtown Addison.

Downtown Addison

At 1.3 miles you'll cross the Canisteo River and the trail veers right following NY 417.  At 1.4 miles turn left onto Wall Street and shortly the trail veers right through a small park.  The trail soon follows Maple Street.  At 2.1 miles you'll reach a cemetery and Ames Street at a stop sign.  You'll see busy NY 417 and an Acorn Gas Station/Store nearby. 

Turn left and enter the cemetery, following the orange blazes in the cemetery. After traveling for a bit in the cemetery, the trail turns into the woods at 2.45 miles.  Your traveling on private property, please stay on the marked trail.  After walking parallel to a private airplane runway and then a X-mas tree farm the trail reaches a junction with a blue blazed trail that heads steeply 0.25 miles to NY 417. 

The trail now follows old woods roads on private property except where the trail crosses Goodhue Creek and the field prior to Mose Road.  Be sure to follow the orange blazes closely as there is a maze of woods roads in the area, especially after crossing Goodhue Creek.  At 3.8 miles reach a nice meadow and the junction of a blue blazed trail that leads 0.25 miles to a small waterfall. 

At 4.25 miles cross Goodhue Creek (easy cross, except in periods of high water).  After crossing the trail travels through an area of brambles and heavy vegetation along a mowed path before turning right on a woods road.  This path looks like it could become easily overgrown if its not mowed.

On this side of Goodhue Creek is a maze of old woods roads.  Be sure your following the orange blazes carefully as you can easily miss a turn a become lost in this forest.  You will pass a private cabin on your way to the open field just before Mose Road.  This section ends on Mose Road near Beeman Hollow Road.

The GET is currently a work in progress.  This currently ends the blazed section of trail until West Hill State Forest to the north.  Other sections are being built to fill in the gaps.  We have a few pictures, a video, map and detailed description of this section of the Great Eastern Trail.  We have included the GPS coordinates below on the major trailheads along this section.
