In the 1930's Walnut Mountain was considered a winter sports mecca. Long gone are the tow
ropes, wood skis and the hot cocoa. With the work of a few dedicated individuals, Walnut
Mountain is now a public park consisting of 265 acres of hiking and biking trails. The park also
features picnic areas, a softball field, soccer field and a playground. The NYSMTB Series has been
holding the Walnut Mtn Classic here for a few years with growing success. The course utilizes the
entire mountain; intermediate single track, fire roads and really tough climbs - more than 400
feet of elevation. There are nice views from the south side of the mountain and always a good
opportunity to spot wildlife. At the summit, look out for the stone fireplace to the old hotel - really
cool. Check out www.libertybiketrail.org for general information about the area and to view the
race course, go to: http://www.libertybiketrail.org/downloads/WC-Map.jpg
Open daily May 1-Sept 30, 8 am-dusk. Stay away from the park during hunting season!
