On the local level we offer a chance to enjoy the 'wilderness experience' either close at hand with a hike on Long Island or with an introduction to new territory, say Harriman, the Catskills, and even our beloved Adirondacks.

  • Recreational Activities at Chimney Rock State Park Chimney Rock State Park’S 4,531 Acres Are Principally Untouched Landscapes
    Chimney Rock State Park Master Plan 2011 10PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN Overview This master plan has defined the vision, goals, and objectives for the future development of Chimney Rock State Park. After considering the three development alternatives and obtaining N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation comments, a park development program consistent with the North Carolina State Parks mission statement was identified for the park. The synthesis of these components produced the following results for the recommended facilities. This chapter includes recommendations for future parkland acquisition, access and recreational develop- ment, interpretive opportunities, and conservation and resource management. It features detailed recom- mendations for existing facility improvements. A graphic of the proposed park master plan is illustrated in Figure 10.1. The recommendations are designed to rectify operations and management concerns, correct for deficiencies in the present number and type of facilities, and to provide more opportunities for a variety of park users and visitors.

  • Tilt> Canister
    tilt> canister Vol. XX, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 8 7 OUR FIRST CATSKILL WEEKEND Ty and I had planned this hike for a long time. The CATSKILLS were relatively unknown to us, but we were ready for a three-day back- pack. We arrived at Fox Hollow late on a chilly Friday in March. A short steep hike up to the lean-to gave us time to explore the immedi- ate vicinity. It was too wet to gather firewood so we pitched tent in front of the lean-to and cooked on a Peak 1 stove. Suddenly, the sun was glistening off the top of Garfield Mountain across the valley. It was a magical sight and set the mood for the weekend. When we woke up it was calm and frost covered the ground. The sun climbed over the mountain and filled the lean-to with warmth, making it a great place to have breakfast. We hit the trail by 9:00 and reached the snow line in a half-hour. The quiet of the morning was broken by the noisy chatter of chickadees, nuthatches, and kinglets as they fluttered from tree to tree. We stopped to watch a brown creeper circle up a large beech nearby. Unfortunately, our trail book used maps without contour lines and this made following our progress more difficult. As we crested the ridge we actually believed we were at the summit. Gazing ahead on the trail we could see a large mountain con- nected to the ridge we were on. Was this the summit of Panther? After lunch we dropped down before ascending to what we thought might be the summit .
