An easy but varied hike, leaving from the O'Hara Nature Center at 170 Mountain Road in Irvington NY 10533. Alltrails describes it this way: 'Experience this 3.1-mile loop trail near Irvington, New York. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 24 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking, snowshoeing, and running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. This trail comprises three separate areas of Irvington Woods: Irvington Reservoir, O'Hara Nature Center, and Everett Macy Park. It is a perimeter trail with many connecting well marked paths. Highlights include a lake, wetlands, marsh, nature center, and historic points of interest (see photos). One mild precaution for this entire loop is that one quarter of it is adjacent to a busy parkway, so it can be noisy and less tranquil."
Bring water, snacks.
As an option, if you have time, listen to the following link/podcast that explores the unique origin of Jewish humor, which I think you'll find entertaining and informative. Elissa and Scott Kurland will be leading the hike. Rain cancels.
