Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Celebrate National Hiking Day with us and explore one of our favorite areas of the Preserve! The route will take us out-and-back along the Lower Trail at Rockwood Hall, with sweeping views of the Hudson River and scenic bridges passing over woodland streams. We'll traverse a total of 2.15 miles on relatively level terrain. Trails are 12-16 feet wide and surfaced with fine hard-packed gravel. Adaptive hiking equipment - two Mountain Trike chairs, the
eTrike and
ePush, as well as an
Oasis Pneumatic walker - may be reserved in advance, free of charge. For those bringing your own devices, standard wheelchairs will work as well, but hard rubber tires can lead to a bumpier ride. All-terrain devices or chairs with bicycle-type wheels are recommended. (Bicycles are not permitted.)Cost: FREE, registration required.
