Old Burrell Road is a short, easy hike in Oatka Creek County Park in New York, on county land about 0.7 miles long. It is a point-to-point route with a total elevation gain of 13 feet, so it is a gentle walk rather than a climb. The road starts at 647 feet and ends at 623 feet, with a slight drop overall. The route is easy to fit into a day in the park. It takes about half an hour to walk, and the closest trail to pair it with is Trout Run, about 0.4 miles away. Bikes are not allowed on this stretch. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Avon show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 73°F, with July the warmest month at about 82°F. Other trails within a few miles include Hickory Trail, Perimeter Trail (Yellow) and Ridge Trail.
