E-Z Spring Walk at Rockland Lake & the Nature Center Trails

Come enjoy some spring color at Rockland Lake State Park and the exciting nature center trails, recently reopened for the season! The Turtles should be out sunning themselves!

This will be a 1 -2 hour walk covering approx. 3 1/2 miles at a slow/moderate pace. There will be several stops at the piers and possibly more for wildlife sightings. Keep a watch for the Baltimore Orioles coming soon!

The paths are paved and level, with some piers and woods trails so all you need are walking/hiking shoes or sneakers, water, sun protection, binoculars, bug spray and don't forget your cameras since there are plenty of photo opts!
Not for singles only.

Remember on these shared pathways, to always KEEP TO THE RIGHT, to make way for cyclists, skaters and other pedestrians to pass safely. Scroll down for more details:

Meet us at PARKING LOT 1, by the flag pole, in front of the big park office and by the new pool. Drive in thru the Congers, NORTH ENTRANCE, at the light and follow the signs bearing left, for parking field 1, which will be on your right. If for any reason this lot is closed we would then meet at Lot 2.

Restrooms on the side of the Park office building should be open now along with the other rest areas. (to be confirmed)
