Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Come one, come all to experience the Preserve in its most popular season at the peak of fall foliage! We are thrilled to finally be able to offer adaptive hiking equipment, the Mountain Trike eTrike and ePush as well as the Oasis Pneumatic walker, which may be reserved in advance. For those bringing your own devices, standard wheelchairs will work as well but hard rubber tires can lead to a bumpier ride. All-terrain devices or wheelchairs with bicycle-type wheels/tires are recommended. (Bicycles are not permitted.) We'll have two routes of varying length to choose from and there will be a hike leader with each group. The terrain will be relatively level containing forest, a lake, and fields. Our carriage roads are 16 feet wide and surfaced with hard-packed gravel. Cost: FREE, registration required. Parking: $6 per vehicle. RockefellerStateParkPreserve.org/events.

Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Tickets available on September 9 at 10 am, Hulda's Night is an adventure into the history and legends of the Preserve through live performance. You walk through the night, your path lit only by lanterns. Your group joins a traveler around his fire and listens to local legends. But your journey has only begun, and you must not tarry. Up Old Gory Brook Road, Domine Johannes Ritzema, Pastor of the Old Dutch Church during the Revolutionary War, waits to tell you the struggles of holding a congregation together during the time of war and of the witch living nearby threatening his flock. As you trek down to the Witch's Spring trail, in the distance the magical fairy lights tell you that you are nearing Hulda's Hut and the "witch" awaits you! Here you sit in hand-carved seats made from the very trees that surround you, on the site where Hulda's home may have stood nearly 250 years ago, and hear her tell her story. The coyotes howl and remind you that you are not alone in these woods as you start back. There is a war raging on all sides of you and highway robbery is the order of the day. So you must take care, keep quiet, and choose your words carefully with any you might meet along the way.
