Tuesday Trek: Beautiful Blooms on Wawarsing Turnpike and Jenny Lane Loop Hike at Minnewaska
Tuesday, June 17, 2025 09:30 AM - 02:00 PM
Join
Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for a hike on some lesser-travelled footpaths on
this approximately five-mile outing. Leaving from the Lower Parking Area, we
will follow Wawarsing Turnpike to the west until it intersects Jenny Lane
Footpath. This route is loaded with mountain laurel bushes whose gorgeous pink
and white blooms will enclose us on the trail. We'll follow this trail until it
intersects Blueberry Run Footpath, dropping down through a dense, deciduous
forest, until we intersect Lower Awosting Carriage Road, which we'll follow
back to our starting point. While broad scenic views are limited on this
outing, it traverses beautiful sections of forest and two clear mountain
streams. This outing includes a few sustained uphill and downhill sections and
two stream crossings that may be challenging for some. Meet in the Lower
Parking Area. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska
Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
