Winter Snowshoe Stream Walk

Winter Snowshoe Stream Walk!

The Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program (AWSMP) will be hosting a Winter Snowshoe Stream Walk along Rochester Hollow trail at the end of Matyas Road near Big Indian, NY from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 2, 2019. If there is not enough snow for snowshoeing, a “No-Snow” date is scheduled for the following Saturday, February 9. If there is still no snow on this date, a regular stream walk will be held without snowshoes.

Snowshoes and walking poles will be provided, though, participants are encouraged to bring their own gear. Those with limited or no experience snowshoeing are encouraged to attend. Instruction on how to snowshoe properly and safely will be given before venturing out on the trail.

The walk will be approximately 2 hours in length along a well-maintained trail on NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Forest Preserve land. During the walk, educators from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County will provide instruction on the importance of local streams and protecting water resources as well as investigating signs of local wildlife. The walk will be 1.5-2 miles in length roundtrip with frequent stops to point out interesting features of the stream or to discuss other environmental topics.

The walk will end at a DEC campsite where participants can warm up by a campfire with hot drinks and snacks.

Meet at the DEC trailhead parking lot at the end of Matyas Road by 10:00 a.m

Attendance is free!  

THE EVENT IS NOW FULL, HOWEVER, WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR WAITING LIST!  For more information, call the stream program office at (845) 688-3047.
