Mossy Glen Footpath and Lower Awosting Hike at Minnewaska
Saturday, August 3, 2024 09:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Join Nick Martin, Park Educator, for this approximately three-mile loop hike. After a brief walk on Lower Awosting Carriage Road, we'll pick up Mossy Glen Footpath and hike this trail until it ends. While this hike does not offer any broad scenic vistas, like the higher elevations of the Park Preserve, this is a lovely trail in all seasons. It meanders in and out of shady, hemlock-dominated woods, through stands of rhododendrons, across bare rock slabs, and along the edge of the Peter's Kill stream. At the conclusion of this trail, we will take Blueberry Run Footpath until it intersects with Lower Awosting Carriage Road. We'll continue our walk on this easy-going carriage road until we arrive back at the parking lot. The footpath sections of this hike include uneven and rocky footing and some potentially slippery rocks and mud, which may be difficult for some. Meet at the Lower Parking Area. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
