Access to Van Cleft Trail:
The Van Cleft Trail is a 2+ mile multi-use trail on land donated by Kathleen S. Van Cleft in 1971 for the purpose of becoming a bird and wildlife sanctuary. It is managed by the Otsego County Soil and Water District and accessed via the Wilber Park trails. It was built in 2019 in a cooperative effort by the Otsego county forester, the OSG, and SUNY Oneonta volunteers, and is marked with red and silver markers.
To access the Van Cleft Trail: Park in Wilber Park’s upper level near the large pavilion. Hike up Wilber Drop Trail. At the first intersection, you can go either right or left to enter the Van Cleft loop trail. Follow the red trail markers.
