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.
