NEW DATE!-Ephemeral Spring Wildflowers at Deer Mtn (please see "How to find us")
Details
Join us at Deer Mountain Park (Town of Coeymans) as we look for ephemeral spring wildflowers in bloom. The parking area (shown in the photo) is located along the left side of Deer Mountain Village Road approximately 0.8 mile south of its intersection with Jarvis Road North – use the directions available from Google Maps by clicking on the “Deer Mountain Park” link above. We’ll gather around the picnic pavilion (shown in center of the photo). We'll begin by strolling through the woods along the East Trail to about its midpoint, then return. We’ll continue by strolling along the West Trail through woodland and a swamp (on an elevated boardwalk) to about the midpoint of this trail, then return to the parking area. Trail surface is predominantly a dirt path with many exposed tree roots and rocks and some scattered puddles – please wear proper footwear.
We’re hoping to find some ephemeral spring wildflowers and other blooming beauties along our route.
