During a pandemic when social distancing is the go-to, what's a fun, easy way to enjoy yourself? That's easy. Just get outside and soak up all the natural beauty of the Otsego County countryside. There are so many outdoor public places to explore and with that in mind, 3 organizations are collaborating (Otsego 2000, the Otsego Land Trust, and Otsego County Conservation Association) with The Otsego Octet Challenge from Otsego Outdoors.
This outdoor adventure program encourages area residents to discover and enjoy trails, state forests and parks throughout Otsego County. This Winter Challenge features destinations where participants can hike, cross-country ski, and snowshoe at. There are four Otsego County state parks featured in this challenge, along with lesser-known destinations, some of which you may have never been to before.
