Southwest Chenango Tour

Begins in the Village of Oxford, seven miles South of the City of Norwich on State Route 12. After arriving in the Village of Oxford on State Route 12, turn onto State Route 220 West (State Street), follow State Route 220 West out of the Town of Oxford, across the Town of Preston and into the Town of McDonough. At East McDonough, State Route 220 heads West toward the Hamlet of McDonough and passes through areas of State Forest Land. In some sections of this stretch of the Route, the trees come down near the highway, and it is not unusual to catch glimpses of wild deer standing just off the pavement or running across it.

In the Center of the Hamlet of McDonough, State Route 220 turns South and crosses into the Town of Smithville. The Route follows Genegantslet Creek, which meanders from one side of the highway to the other. At Smithville Flats, Route 220 becomes State Route 41, and continues South to the Village of Greene. Turn left in Greene onto State Route 12 and head North, back to Oxford.
