Bike to Hike at Minnewaska
Thursday, September 25, 2025 09:30 AM - 01:30 PM
Join Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for a bike ride to Lake Awosting and a loop hike in the Minnewaska back country. Starting on Lake Minnewaska Carriage Road, we'll ride to Upper Awosting Carriage Road, which we'll follow until it ends at Lake Awosting. From here, we'll continue along the Lake Awosting Carriage Road until we intersect the Castle Point Carriage Road. We'll ride this route until we come to the intersection with the Scenic Trail Footpath, where we'll lock and leave our bikes along the carriage road. Next, we'll grab our backpacks and hike a loop along Scenic Trail and Wolfs Jaws footpaths, which features a short scramble through a tallus-formed cave, for those who feel adventurous. For our return ride, we'll cruise along Hamilton Point Carriage Road, which offers gorgeous sweeping views of the Palmaghatt Ravine. Then, we'll ride the last part of our journey along Millbrook Mountain and Lake Minnewaska Carriage Roads. The total distance for the bike ride is approximately eight miles and the hike distance is approximately one and a half miles. Participants must bring their own bikes, equipment, food and water. Only Class 1, pedal-assist, electric bikes are allowed in the Park Preserve. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center Upper Parking Lot. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
