Mossy Glen Hike at Minnewaska

Minnewaska State Park Preserve

Posted

Join Nick Martin, Park Educator, for an approximately three-mile hike on Mossy Glen Footpath and Lower Awosting Carriage Road. Participants will start from the Lower Parking Area, walk a short section of Lower Awosting Carriage Road, the full length of Mossy Glen Footpath, a short section of Blueberry Run Footpath, and return to our starting point by walking again on the Lower Awosting Carriage Road. Mossy Glen features some beautiful woods, including cool hemlock forests and stands of rhododendrons, and the babbling Peter's Kill stream. This footpath includes some areas of slippery and rocky terrain that some may find challenging, though the carriage road section is relatively easy walking. All unvaccinated participants are encouraged to wear face coverings and keep a minimum six-foot distance away from others who are not part of their immediate household. Additionally, all unvaccinated visitors should wear a mask when inside buildings. Pre-registration is required by calling Minnewaska at 845-255-0752.
