CHENANGO COUNTY – The Chenango County Public Health Department is spotlighting the county’s best outdoor draws through a new program that encourages folks to “explore Chenango.”

The second annual “Explore Chenango Outdoor Challenge” officially got underway last month, enticing nature lovers to hike, bike, and paddle their way across more than 150 miles or trails and rivers in Chenango County.

Organizers say the program’s a great way to keep healthy while enjoying the outdoor resources that Chenango has to offer.
