Minnewaska State Park Preserve: Sam's Point Area
This opportunity is being offered at 11:00 a.m.
every Saturday in December, January, February, and March, weather permitting.
It is designed for people who are beginners, interested in trying snowshoeing
as a new winter activity. Each session will be run by a Sam's Point employee,
who will provide instruction on how to properly wear and adjust the snowshoes.
They'll also work with you until you are ready to head out on your favorite
trail with confidence. The lesson may last up to one hour. Snowshoes are available
to rent for this program at a discounted rate of $5 per person at the Sam's
Point Visitor Center.

Join Becca Howe-Parisio, Environmental Educator, for this
three-mile loop walk to view the magnificent Lake Maratanza. On our way to
the Lake, we will stop at the Sam's Point Overlook, where we will discover some
features left by the last glaciers. Once we reach the
Lake, we will discuss the geologic process that formed this water body.
Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18.
Infants and young children must be in a secure carrier or jogging-type stroller
designed for rough terrain for the duration of the hike. The total number of participants for this program
is limited to 20 individuals. Meet at the Sam's Point Visitor Center. Pre-registration
