October, 2025 | Announcement
Hunting Season is upon us here at Slate Valley. The Endless Brook property is closed to hunting. The Fairgrounds property is open for deer hunting only (no other game). Please make yourself familiar with Slate Valley Trails’ guidelines so we can mutually respect our landowners and adjacent neighbors who hunt during this short window of time. We thank you for your understanding.
Hunting Season Reminders for Slate Valley Trails for the 2025 Season:
1) The following trails from the Fairgrounds trailhead are CLOSED from October 25-26 and November 15-30
- Cliffhanger
- Freefall
- Loop-the-Loop
- Midway
- To Morse Hollow
2) Hunting occurs at Delaney Woods and Howe Hill during spring and fall turkey and fall deer season. Delaney woods is closed for hunting from October-December.
3) On all SVT’s trails, adjacent landowners may be hunting nearby on their own land. Please avoid using trails before 10am and after 3pm which is when hunters are typically outside and visibility is low (IE: Not safe for you). As always, stay on the trails and keep your voices down.
