Kempton Ledge and Echo Rock Hike at Minnewaska
Sunday, July 6, 2025 09:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Join Abigail Hedler, Student Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator, for an approximately four-mile-long hike to reach two, prominent, scenic vistas. From the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center, we'll start by heading around the west side of Lake Minnewaska to reach an intersection with the old golf course. We'll wander up a hill through the old golf course until we reach the intersection with Castle Point Carriage Road. From here, we'll continue along this route until we come to Kempton Ledge, a scenic overlook along a cliff edge. Then, we'll retrace our steps until we intersect with Hamilton Point Carriage Road, which we'll follow until we reach Echo Rock, another scenic vista on a protruding cliff edge. From here, we'll head back towards Lake Minnewaska and walk around the east side of the Lake until we arrive back at our starting point. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
