Onondaga Nature Trail is named for one of the five original
tribes of the Iroquois Federation. The trail is 1.2 miles long one way. From the
parking lot off of Sour Springs Road follow the dirt and gravel dike through the
Onondaga Marsh into mixed mature woods with evergreen plantations which predate
the refuge. A quiet walker will be greeted by a variety of songbirds. A short
side loop takes you around a small pond where you may see ducks and other
waterfowl. When you come to the end of the trail, simply retrace your
steps to return.
Onondaga Trail is closed to all activities,
except hunting, during the New York State regular (shotgun) deer season.
The shotgun hunting season is normally mid November to the end of December.
