The Sturgeon Full Moon will be on Aug 9th. We'll hike up to the Bowling Rock in Harriman State Park - a large flat and open area perfect for such an occasion. Pack your favorite trail food for dinner on the mountain. We’ll collect fire wood get a fire going and kick back and enjoy

Please pack
Head lamp or flashlight - A MUST HAVE

• favorite snack or dinner
• bug spray
• camp chair (if chillaxing is preferred)
• two-way radio
• bear spray

It will be easy hike along the lake side on the Long Path trail heading in a westbound direction until we meet the yellow Dunning trail. From here it's a sharp left continuing in a westerly direction we'll find the Hogencap Mine. Then head along the trail south, slowly progressing west, eventually this leads us in a northerly direction along the trail, it's a bit of a climb but nothing that will wind you for you have reached the summit of Bowling Rock this is where we will kick back and relax, the climb will be worth it.

The views from up here will be nothing short of breathtaking from the surrounding views you can see the beauty of Harriman State Park. We’ll hang here take in the moon raise, have a bite before heading back down to the lake side parking lot. By the time we return the reflection should be amazing dancing across the surrounding lakes.
