The people of Smethport still like to enjoy the outdoors and somewhere along the line a few individuals got to organizing.

Just a quick question: Does anyone that reads Solomon's Blog actually use the Potato Creek Trails? I mean for hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or horse back riding? I don't typically see anyone going onto or off of these trails. I mean if you do, please feel free to comment. I just don't think they have gotten used very much in the several years it has been organized..
*I've hiked on it once, toward Farmers Valley and wasn't impressed with the signage.*
