Join us to explore the yellow trail at the Blueberry Hill East trailhead (#4). We will walk 1.7 miles pausing to discover Pine Bush natural history and explore seasonal surprises along the way. This program will meet at the wooden and metal kiosk at trailhead #4.

If you are unsure of what the trail conditions will be like on the day of your hike please check in with us during our normal business hours at (518) 456-0655.
