Hike Doodletown Circular
2021-05-15 09:45 - 14:00 | Harriman State Park, Harriman State Park, Harriman, NY, United States
Saturday, May 15, 2021 – Doodletown Circular
The former hamlet of Doodletown (the name is said to derive from the Dutch Dood Tal, for “dead valley,” with the “town” suffix added later by English-speaking settlers) is part of Bear Mountain-Harriman State Park.
Doodletown survived as a small, isolated community for about 200 years. The area was settled in the 1760s by loggers and miners, and at one time included a church, a school, several small businesses and two cemeteries in addition to 70 houses and 300 residents [at its peak in 1945]. The seven square mile hamlet was ultimately abandoned in the mid- 1960s after a long period of land acquisition by the Palisades Interstate Parks Commission. Our hike will start at the second Bear Mountain parking area (behind the administrative building and near the carousel). We will take the 1777 trail in, go around the reservoir and see the June Cemetery (still active), and explore some of the old foundations. We will return by way of the Suffern-Bear Mountain trail that drops us off at the skating rink, with a short walk back to the cars. Note: There is a $10 parking fee at Bear Mountain. Limited to six hikers plus the leader/co-leader. Masks required. Meet at the Parking area at 9:45AM. Qualifying (5-6 miles). Please register by 9PM Thursday May 13th. Leader: Ray Kozma. Contact at: raymondkozma@gmail.com or 917-406-3782.

Hike Bald Rocks Shelter from Lake Kanawauke

Saturday, May 22, 2021 – Bald Rocks Shelter from Lake Kanawauke
Starting from the parking area off the former Route 106 at Lake Kanawauke, we take a short road walk and then enter the forest, following a woods road as it gently climbs up to meet the Dunning Trail. The ascent up Black Rock Mountain is steady, but not strenuous. After crossing a stream, we come to the bare, rocky area of Bald Rocks. At 1,382 feet in elevation, Bald Rocks is the highest point in the park. (The boulders that dot the bare rock gave rise to the name “Bowling Rocks.”) We traverse across the open rock surface (known as the Whaleback) and make our way to Bald Rock Shelter for a lunch break. The area around the shelter is interesting for the crossing of other trails nearby and for the many, well-used camp sites scattered around the area. We retrace our steps back down to the parking area. It will probably be possible to arrange a ride from Sloatsburg for those without a car. Please call leader to check. Bring lunch, rain gear, water, extra layers, and appropriate hiking shoes. Limited to six hikers plus the leader/co-leader. Masks required. Meet at the Parking area at 9:45AM. Qualifying (5-6 miles). Please register by 9PM Thursday May 13th.

An opportunity for a required Orientation is scheduled for this day, as well. The Orientation is about 2.5 hours and will begin at 2:00 pm. Please RSVP to Don at blaugabels@msn.com.

Invasive Species Task Force Project

Call for volunteers

In the fall we were able to destroy hundreds of invasive species plants along the road to Nawakwa in a single day. We will continue this project on Sat. June 12 in coordination with ACA and the NY/NJ Trail Conference. By killing invasive species, which tend to take over entire areas, we will be encouraging the growth of native flora which in turn helps provide an improved habitat for local animals and birds. We will meet the volunteers from the other organizations at our gate at 8:45and will work approximately until 1 PM. All necessary tools will be provided.

This is also an opportunity for Applicants to complete a Qualifying Service Project, however, spots are limited based on the number of keyholders who respond. RSVP quickly and please, if you can’t make it after signing up – let us know ASAP so another Applicant can attend.

It was a fun, not very strenuous, and very worthwhile activity. If you have some interest in joining us that morning or would like more information, please contact me by June 5.

The Aquatic Invasive Species survey will take place on Sunday, July 11, 2021 from 11am to 3pm
Meet at the ACA Pavilion at 11 am for a comprehensive training with Lindsay Yoder, aquatic species coordinator for the Lower Hudson PRISM (Prevent Regional Invasive Species Management).
The program will begin with Lindsay giving an overview of AIS in Lake Sebago and how we can survey the lake to conduct ongoing assessments. Participants will then proceed to Dock 10 and use MCKC’s tandem canoes to survey the cove—and possibly other areas of the lake—for AIS. Participants must have basic paddling skills and wear a PFD at all times on the dock and on the water.
If you are interested in participating in this very important activity or would like more information about this or other conservation activities at Nawakwa, please contact me by email: Irastahl@yahoo.com or call or text me at 516-547 2780.
Note: It is important that we have volunteers from Nawakwa. The current plan is to survey the cove near ACA and, based on the number of volunteers, other parts of the lake. If we have enough volunteers, we should be able to survey more of the lake, including around our lake front and boat launch areas. We possibly could continue this work on our own through the summer and fall.
