There is even going to be a "Woodland Valley History Hike" that I think many of you may be interested in attending. Here is the description of that hike from the website.


Saturday, OCTOBER 2 - Woodland Valley History Hike - 10:30AM

Join the Catskill 4000 Club on a hike to a great view near the head of Woodland Valley. Along the way, get an ear full of local history and stories about the bark peelers, John Burroughs, and others. I'll even throw in some tips on hiking and survival. Bring rainjacket, sweater, flashlight, and lighter, lunch and drinks. NO DOGS Please. Cold/Windy or showers postpones hike to Sunday. This is a moderate/ difficult hike of about 4 miles, and 5 hours, with some uneven rocky places. Group size limited, so you must register by Friday, Oct. 1st, by 8:00 p.m. To register, contact Paul Misko at woodvalleybear@gmail.com.

Directions:

From Rt. 28, west of Phoenicia, take turn-off for Woodland Valley. Cross bridge and come to "T". Make right turn onto Woodland Valley Rd. and travel about 6 miles to the Woodland Valley Campground. Go to office and pay the $6.00 parking fee.
