Roaring Brook Trail South to Shelter Hike
Sun, Apr 19
|Meeting Location
Most bikers avoid this half of the Roaring Brook Trail as much of it is heavily eroded and in disrepair. However, it is an historic NYSDOT trail connecting Route 301 to Peekskill Hollow Rd with a nice climb to a shelter atop a plateau.

About the event
PWMBA and Friends of Fahnestock & Hudson Highlands would like to invite local trail users on a hike from Pudding St. / Wiccopee Rd. to the old shelter atop the plateau with views of Fahnestock East for Putnam Valley CCE Earth Week 2026! We will be clearing debris from the trail to improve the user experience and opening drains as needed while hiking to the shlter and back. This is approximately 3.5 miles.
Please bring sturdy hiking shoes, hat, gloves, and a hoe or a shovel. Dress for ticks and bring spray and sunscreen. Pack food, snacks, and water. Well-behaved, non-reactive dogs are welcome so long as they are leashed.
All attendees must RSVP, sign the PWMBA waiver: https://volunteer.imba.com/opportunities/sNug0d0CdN and additionally the NYS Parks volunteer service agreement: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/84cc960932c1472e97a15fed75133de4
