398 Scottsville-Oatka Trail

This 30 mile route begins in the heart of Scottsville by the Wheatland Town Hall, from a municipal parking lot behind the Post Office.  It proceeds west to Mumford and then out past Genesee Country Museum and a large quarry to Circular Hill Road which offers a speedy downhill.  The route back east along Oatka Trail follows the north side of the creek almost to Mumford where it heads north on 36 toward Clifton.  From Morgan road the return south is on Reed and Brown’s.  The route has numerous small hills.  There is no way across Oatka Creek between route 36 in Mumford and Circular Hill Road.  The Caledonia Fish Hatchery is only a little off route south on 36 from Mumford.  The convenient Scottsville Diner could be a lunch spot, only a minute’s walk away from the parking lot.
