Long Way to the Waterfall at Minnewaska

Sunday, June 1, 2025 09:30 AM - 02:00 PM

Join Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for a five-mile loop hike on the High Peter's Kill Footpath and the Awosting Falls Carriage Road. Highlights of this outing may include early flowering mountain laurel shrubs, a breathtaking view of the Catskills from a cliffside perch, close-up views of the fast-flowing Peter's Kill stream and the iconic, 65-foot tall Awosting Falls. The footpath section of this hike can be steep, rocky, and narrow, which some may find challenging. All participants should come well prepared with appropriate footwear, food, and water. Meet at the Lower Parking Area. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
