“Great 8” Trail Challenge
Looking for a local trail challenge? Try completing the Great 8!
Walk a trail from each of the eight trailheads in the Saratoga Sandplains and record your trips on “The Great 8” challenge checklist. When you finish, send your completed checklist along with $5.00 to to 80 Scout Road, Wilton, NY, 12831 and you will receive your Great 8 patch!
Remember that all of the trails are on land that is owned by our partners: the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Town of Wilton, Saratoga County, and The Nature Conservancy. Please respect their rules and regulations for trail use.
Always follow Leave No Trace principles.
Be kind and respectful to both humans and wildlife you come across on trail.
“We loved doing this challenge. It was a great way to spend time outside as a family. We saw four owls during our last hike at Kalabus Perry.” - Visitor from Ballston Spa
