Berry Extravaganza! Drop in Celebration at Sam’s Point

Saturday, August 3, 2024 10:00 AM - 03:30 PM

In summer, wild blueberries and huckleberries can be found growing along almost every trail at Sam's Point, providing a tasty snack for both wildlife and hikers alike. Can you identify these two berries? Stop by the picnic area at Sam's Point to try the berry taste- test and make your own berry holder to take with you on your hike. The twenty-seven-minute documentary, "The Huckleberry Pickers: A Vanished Shawangunk Culture", will be shown in the Visitor Center throughout the day. All children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 18. Pre-registration for this program is not required, however, reservations to get into Sam's Point on weekends are required. You can reserve a parking spot through Reserve America New York: https://bit.ly/3uPj21L.
