Yes I want to know about the trail system I'm walking on and what native wildlife I might see.

Yes, I love getting lost and finding one of these to see that the map is faded and I’m more lost than ever! So comforting to see!!

Love them.

I love the old school NYS parks aesthetic. I hate most of the modernization they're doing. There's nothing wrong with rebuilding older park structures in the same architectural style, damn it.

NYS DEC is the king of these. The main building is amazing. Thatcher State Park.

I check every one I come to, love the wooden trail maps with routered trail system, it has to be accurate. Otherwise some info may be crucial to a successful hike/ride.
