Minnewaska State Park Preserve: Sam's Point Area

Join us for this hands-on workshop and learn how to grow your own edible mushrooms! During the program we will discuss how native fungi function in the ecosystem. Then, we will learn about the processes of both indoor and outdoor mushroom cultivation through a hands-on workshop. We will be inoculating logs for outdoor cultivation, as well as inoculating containers to be grown inside your home. Once completed, the logs and containers are yours to bring home where you can watch them flourish. This program is open to all ages and experience levels. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18. Pre-registration is required by calling Sam’s Point at 845-647-7989.

Minnewaska State Park Preserve: Sam's Point Area

Join Christina Seymour, Student Conservation Association Intern, on this interpretive hike through the Ice Caves at Sam’s Point. Learn about how these fascinating crevices formed, while you cool off in their natural air conditioning! Along the way to the Ice Caves you will see evidence of the wildfire that burned 2,028 acres through the Park Preserve and surrounding lands in April 2016. It is captivating to see what is growing after the fire, and Christina would love to tell you all about it. This hike is three miles roundtrip, with two-and-a-half miles on carriage roads and a half mile on a footpath that includes stone stairs, two small ladders, and boardwalk sections. All children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18. Meet at the Sam’s Point Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling Sam's Point at 845-647-7989.
