Moreau Lake State Park Hike

I-87 Exit 9 Park & Ride at Fire Road

Moreau Lake State Park – Lake Bonita and West Palmertown Ridge Rating: B Roundtrip Distance: 8.5 miles Elevation Gain: 2200 ft +/- Owned By: New York State This hike will explore the western part of Moreau Lake State Park. We will travel along trails that overlook the Hudson River and then cross the Palmertown Ridge. We will continue around Lake Ann and then Lake Bonita. Finally we will proceed along the waterfall trail and back to our cars on Spier Falls Road. This hike is about 8.5 miles with roughly 2200 ft elevation gain. This is not a hike for for beginners due to some steep terrain and rocky sections. Trails will likely be muddy in places. Also the pace will be moderate to fast.
