Hike to Echo Rock at Minnewaska
Saturday, July 26, 2025 09:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Join Nick Martin, Park Preserve Educator, for an approximately four-mile hike to Echo Rock. Echo Rock is a scenic vista perched on a cliff edge above the Palmaghatt Ravine. Beautiful views of the surrounding Park Preserve and Wallkill Valley can be seen from here on a clear day. Our roundtrip will take participants on a few historic carriage roads and one footpath. We'll hike out Lake Minnewaska, Millbrook Mountain, and Hamilton Point Carriage Roads to reach Echo Rock. The section of Hamilton Point Carriage Road that leads to Echo Rock is lovely – with exposed rock formations, scattered boulders, and lush ferns. Our return trip will be slightly different, as we will follow Hamilton Point and Castle Point Carriage Roads, the Meadows trails, and Lake Minnewaska Carriage Road to return to 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.
