Wawarsing Turnpike and Jenny Lane Snowshoe at Minnewaska
Saturday, January 11, 2025 09:30 AM - 01:00 PM
Join Nick Martin, Park Educator, for a snowshoe hike on some of the lesser-travelled trails at Minnewaska during this approximately five-mile outing. Leaving from the Lower Parking Area, we will follow Wawarsing Turnpike to the west until it intersects Jenny Lane Footpath. Crossing over Rt 44/55, we'll follow this trail until it intersects Blueberry Run Footpath. From here, we'll snowshoe a short section of Blueberry Run Footpath to reach Lower Awosting Carriage Road, which will take us back to our starting point. While scenic views are limited on this outing, it traverses beautiful sections of forest and two clear, mountain streams. This outing includes a few sustained uphill and downhill sections and two stream crossings that may be challenging for some. A limited number of snowshoes are available for participants to borrow for this program from the Education Department. When these run out, snowshoes may be rented for a fee of $5 per person. Please plan to arrive by 9:10 a.m. if you will be borrowing snowshoes. If there is insufficient snow cover, this program will be offered as a hike and participants are highly encouraged to bring along microspikes or other ice traction devices. Meet at the Lower Parking Area. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
