Tuesday Trek: Old Powerhouse and Peter’s Kill Trails Hike at Minnewaska

Tuesday, January 7, 2025 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Join Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for an adventurous outing along the edge of the Peter's Kill stream. Our first destination is the site of the old hydro-electric powerhouse, that served the hotels once located at Lake Minnewaska. Some may find this off-trail walk challenging, as it includes a stream crossing, bushwhacking and a steep, rocky section. We'll return to join the Red Loop Footpath, following the western section and returning to the start of the Bullwheel Footpath. We'll then follow this slow, climbing trail until it intersects the High Peter's Kill Footpath, which we'll walk to a scenic view over the Clove valley. The total distance for this outing is approximately two-and-three-quarters miles. If conditions are icy, participants are strongly encouraged to bring microspikes or other ice traction devices. Meet at the Peter's Kill Parking Area, 5080 Route 44/55, Gardiner, New York.. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
