Poke-O-Moonshine Firetower Sunset Hike

Lewis, NY
Sunday, July 12, 2026, 5 – 10pm

Join us on a sunset hike on the Ranger Trail up Poke-O-Moonshine to the fire tower in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Firetower Challenge. For those new to the challenge, it involves climbing and documenting, by date, ascents of at least 23 NYS fire tower summits: 18 of 27 Adirondack Park summits and all 5 Catskill Park summits. Poke-O is popular for its expansive views of Lake Champlain, the High Peaks and the Green Mountains in VT. It's name is thought to be a combination of two Algonquin words- "pohqui" and "moosie" which translated means "broken and smooth". 1,000 ft gneiss cliffs on the east side offer rock climbers over 180 routes. The summit is mostly open to the east and west but climbing the tower offers an amazing 360 degree view. We will meet at the trailhead at 5:00 p.m., fuel up with a mini dinner, and begin our steep and challenging but short hike up to Poke-O hoping to catch the sun setting. Then we will head down with headlamps carefully descending back to our vehicles for the ride home. Email the leader to join or to request a carpool location from the Saratoga area at the far end of Media Drive in Queensbury.

Tuesday, July 14, 2026, 9:45am – 12pm

Two-hour hybrid hike in Black Creek Park split between a 40-minute hike at a slower pace along the treeline behind Woodside Lodge, then a second hike at a faster pace with mild hills . Meet at 9:45am in the parking lot next to Woodside lodge for a 10:00am hike start. Please park as far away from the lodge as possible.

Contact Larry Telle at ltelle.arkados@gmail.com with any questions. Dogs are not allowed on this hike. Our hybrid hike consists of 2 hikes that allow us to drop off hikers who prefer a 40-minute to 1- hour easier hike at a slower pace with less elevation change, then continue with the 2nd hike for the rest of the 2 hours at a faster pace with some short climbs. This allows all of us to keep hiking together, when some of our old and new friends need to shorten their hike or some are just starting back hiking after a time off or recovering from surgery.

You must read and sign the “club’s release of liability form” which will be available at the parking lot.

Walking Wednesday

Wednesday, July 15, 2026

Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike. Must contact leader to confirm meeting time and location.

Wednesday Walk

Various local parks within 30 min of the state capital

We are continuing the Wednesday evening local hikes. These hikes will be easy and relatively short so that we can meet around 6 PM and spend an hour or two out in nature during the week. Dogs are welcomed. Where we will hike will vary by week, but always will be within a short drive of Albany. Examples of past hikes are Albany Pine Bush and Mohawk Hudson Land Conservatory parks. There are many more locations in the area that have a couple miles of trails that we can explore this year. In general, we are looking to do 2-3 miles of hiking.

Prospective Young Members Hike to Bald Mountain via the Snow Hole

Petersburg Pass, Route 2, near the NY–MA border.
The trailhead is across the street from the parking lot
maps.app.goo.gl…
Sunday, July 19, 2026, 9am – 2pm

We will hike an out and back trail from the parking lot at Petersburg Pass on Route 2. Heading north for 3 miles along the Taconic Ridge, through woods and with viewpoints to the west. We will stop a bit to explore the "Snow Hole." This is an opening into a deep cave (we will not go deeper than the mouth of cave). Cold air coming from the cave keeps the mouth of the cave cold enough that snow persists throughout the spring and early summer. Because the area is moist and cool, a diversity of interesting moss species occurs at the cave mouth. We'll then continue on for 0.4 miles to the summit of Bald Mountain. Total hike 6.58miles with 1070 feet of elevation gain. Due to expected July heat, it is necessary to be fit enough to be active in the heat for several hours. We will send an email with final details to all registered participants. To register and for more information, email the leader. Please include your phone number.

A one-way paddle on the Moose River in Old Forge. Paddle will start at the Carter Road bridge (near the outlet of Rondaxe Lake) and end at the North Street bridge in Old Forge.

Directions to the starting point at Carter Road bridge: Take Rondaxe Road/Route 93 off Route 28 south of Inlet and north of Old Forge. There are prominent signs for Rondaxe Mountain/Bald Mountain and Adirondack Woodcraft Camps. Take Rondaxe Road/Route 93 for approximately 2 miles until you pass West Lake on your left. Immediately after seeing West Lake, take a right onto a dirt road (Carter Road). Don’t follow the signs for Adirondack Woodcraft Camps or Moose River Farm. The outing leader will place a small sign directing paddlers to the correct dirt road (Carter Road) the morning of the paddle. Continue on the dirt road/Carter Road for approximately 1/4 mile, drive over the Carter Road bridge, and park on the shoulder just beyond the bridge. There is a short (less than 100 yards) descent to the river. Wheels can be used, but shouldn’t be necessary.

Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike.

Four-Day Paddle from Lake Kushaqua to Little Clear Pond in the Northern Adirondacks

Kushaqua-Mud-Pond Rd, Onchiota (Franklin County), NY to Fish Hatchery Rd. Saranac Lake (Santa Clara), NY
Thursday, July 23 – Sunday, July 26, 2026

You will need to arrive on Thursday, July 23, between 4:30 and 5:30 PM at the Little Clear Pond Boat Launch on Fish Hatchery Rd (off Rt. 30), Saranac Lake, NY.
This is a scenic pond-and-lake paddle from Lake Kushaqua, in the remote northern hamlet of Onchiota, to Little Clear Pond, in the St. Regis Wilderness. The portages are mostly short & fairly flat. There are six portages. One is only 75 feet. Another is only 100 ft. Another is only 150 feet. Another is 0.75 mile and can be done with a car. Another is 0.85 miles. Another is 1 mile. We'll float through lakes and ponds, with some Summer camps, and into the St. Regis Wilderness, which has no development on its shorelines. The St. Regis was acquired by the state in 1898. It has always been undeveloped and motor-free. It consists of 18,000 acres, 58 lakes & ponds, and 24 miles of hiking, skiing, and portaging trails. These water bodies teem with loons, herons, frogs, turtles, and fish.
Total point-to-point mileage is 28.5 miles without side paddles and 37.5 miles with side paddles. The longest mileage days will be the first two. Side paddles will take us up remote, serene rivers with lots of wildlife and interesting foliage.
You will need a boat, paddling gear, your own food, camping gear, synthetic clothing (NO cotton), water shoes, and comfortable footwear for portaging. PFDs must be worn while on water - zipped up & correctly fitted. Canoes are the better choice because of the portaging. Kayaks are difficult to portage and pack, but you can take one if you can carry it yourself. Canoes can be rented in the area. The Appalachian Mtn. Club has boats at the New York/North Jersey Chapter's Barn in Pomona, NY. I believe they loan them out, for AMC trips (which this one is), to members, but non-members may be able to get one for a rental fee, which is likely less than an outfitter's fee. You will have to cartop the boat from and back to the Barn. Contact Mary Hoag at AMC-NY/NoJ.

Wednesday, July 29, 2026

Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike.

31 Van Hoevenberg Way, Lake Placid, NY 12946
Friday, July 31, 2026, 9am – 2pm

Due to overwhelming interest in this event, two groups of no more than 25 participants in each group. We still have a few spots available for this outing. Email Lynn Butterworth ASAP if you would like to attend: rendiandbutter@gmail.com
Here’s a reminder of what the day will look like:
10:00 Group A- Jack Mullholland Legacy Tour / Group B- Mark Vandenberg bobsled tour
11:30 Lunch: Bring your own lunch. We will meet and eat as a group on the third floor.
1:00 Group A- Mark Vandenberg bobsled tour / Group B- Jack Mullholland Legacy Tour
2:30ish OPTIONAL-- Split into groups and actively participate in Biathlon, Wheeled Luge or take a Mountain Coaster ride.
Explore Mt Van Hoevenberg’s Olympic past and discover the long lineage of gliding and sliding sports. The informative Legacy Tour begins at a unique Mountain Pass Lodge, allowing you to observe where todays’ elite athletes train, and take in stunning views of our Nordic competition course and the surrounding mountains. The guided tour includes a visit to the United States’ only Ice House Push Track and concludes with a trek alongside Mt Van Hoevenberg’s historic sliding track.Strongly recommend closed-toe, seasonally appropriate footwear and attire.
The cost for the two tours is $20 / person.
But wait, there’s MORE! For an additional fee, you can try
The Wheeled Luge Experience, the Biathlon Experience or the Mountain Coaster Ride.
Wheeled Luge is offered at 2pm and 3pm and lasts for an hour. An instructor will be with the group and take you out onto a paved roller loop (this does not happen on the bobsled track, but mimics that experience). It is a great introduction to luge using wheeled sleds in a safe setting, led by pro instructors. You will delve into the sport, learn basic techniques and advanced maneuvers while progressing through tailored challenges designed to enhance skills and confidence over multiple runs down the paved loops. Each person will be on his/her individual, wheeled sled without a driver, with multiple runs per person. $65/person. **Close-toed shoes required.
OR a Biathlon Experience, which is very cool! That one will happen out on the Biathlon Field and would include the same individualized attention as wheeled luge from instructors. The group would get a brief biathlon history lesson, instructions on safety and shooting, and then 2 turns shooting: 5-shot clips with a .22 rifle (or with a Laser Rifle if the group would prefer.) $20 for laser rifle; $25 for 22 caliber rifle.
OR experience the re-opened the Mountain Coaster. The coaster runs along the bobsled track and takes you up and through the mountains, imitating what it feels to be like on a bobsled while an audio track plays from built-in-speakers as you ride. It is the longest coaster in North America! The coaster can be booked on the hour from 10am-4pm and costs $45/person.
Here is how you will go about paying for the day’s activities: There will be TWO, SEPARATE PAYMENTS. Payment for the tours ($20/person) is to be paid, in cash, to Lynn Butterworth at Mt Van Hoevenberg prior to the start of the first tour on July 31. Please understand that I am personally paying for all the tours, so please be sure to find me to make your payment. If you are NOT participating in any additional activity, this one payment is all that you owe. Payment for any additional activity will be paid online at mtvanhoevenberg.com.
Following the tours, attendees who are participating in the wheeled luge, biathlon or mountain coaster should book activities on their own, using the website. To be safe with the timing, I suggest booking your time slot at 3:00 and later.
Please click the “Activities and Lessons” tab to see pricing and availability. Some activities like wheeled luge and biathlon have low capacities per hour, so if you are interested in participating in these activities, I recommend booking sooner rather than later. Attendees will pay for their activities individually when they book directly online. Additionally, you will be prompted to fill out an E-AOR/waiver – a release of liability form. Following the completion of the 2^nd tour, please proceed to the customer service desk on the first floor with a copy of your activity ticket (printed or digital copy), and the desk representative will show you where to go for each activity.
Directions: From I 87-N, take exit 30 for US-9 toward NY-73/Keene Valley/Keene. Turn left onto US-9N. Drive 2.2 miles and take a slight left onto NY-73 W. Drive 13.1 miles, and take a slight left to stay on NY-73 W. Drive 7.9 miles and turn left onto Van Hoevenberg Way. Continue to parking areas.

Boreas Ponds Paddle and Campout

North Hudson, NY
Monday, August 3 – Tuesday, August 4, 2026

Join us around 9 a.m. at the trailhead for a canoe or kayak portage, paddle and campout at Boreas Ponds in North Hudson. For those who have not been here, there is a very smooth and well graded 1.4 mile portage on a dirt road to the brand new accessible put-in that will require wheels. Once there we will set up camp at the Lean-To or in the field which will require a short .2 hike uphill. We can explore the ponds at our leisure for the afternoon. To paddle and explore the system of ponds is about 5 miles total with insanely excellent views of the High Peaks. The shore of the ponds is impenetrable. There is literally NOWHERE to take out other than the official put in which does make this paddle more challenging! Also worth noting is that the lean-to is NOT very close to the put-in which requires faith in mankind not to steal your boat while you are not watching over it. So you may feel more comfortable wheeling your boat up the trail to the Lean-to. Those who don't want to camp can sign out of the trip and head home. For those who want to camp, we can have a nice swim, a campfire and enjoy the stars and then head back home after the portage out on Sunday. I am flexible if some people would like to paddle or swim more on Sunday. Email the trip leader for a gear list or with any questions.

Paddle - Skaneateles Lake

Meet at Bass Pro Shop in Auburn, drive to put together
Monday, August 3, 2026, 9am – 4pm

Join us for a paddle at the south end of Skaneateles Lake. We'll launch at Andrew R. Fuller Park in the Glen Haven area and paddle up the east shoreline of the lake.The paddle length is about 6 miles round trip. There are some cottages along this route, but quite a bit of the paddle is below steep cliffs. We first stop at an area containing ancient fossil staghorn coral deposits dating from the Devonian Period (400 - 350 million years ago). We then continue to Staghorn Point,, a new area preserved by the Finger Lakes Land Trust. Her we take a break, have lunch and possible swim....weather permitting. Toilet facilities are in the woods. We then re-trace our path back to the launch. The trip is quite scenic, and the water in this lake is incredibly clear....the clearest of the finger lakes.

We will gather at 9:00 am in the parking lot of Bass Pro Shops on the north side of Route 20, just as we are entering Auburn, NY from the west. We will then proceed as a group to the launch point. Total on way drive time is about 1.5 hours (per google). Bring your lunch, snacks, rain gear, and (optional) swim suits. The paddle is on flat water on the lake. At times the wind from the south can be a problem. If they are forecast, we will try to re-schedule this paddle

Whiteface from Lake Placid

Meet at 6:00 am at the park and ride at the north end of Media Drive near Northway Exit 18. Sign up is only by email to the leader.
Saturday, August 8, 2026

The path less travelled to Whiteface, this is a favorite summer hike. After walking past quiet Connery Pond, we’ll get to Whiteface Landing on Lake Placid in time for a snack on the floating dock. Will the dock still be tilted, or will they have finally fixed it? The real ascent begins once we reach the Whiteface Lean-to. The views will appear as we approach the summit before our final climb up the open, rocky south face of the mountain to find all the people who drove up crowding the top. Our lunch spot will be a quieter place below the summit. The best part is a swim off the dock on the way back, so bring your swim suit and hope for warm but not too hot weather. Round trip distance is 12.4 miles with 3,200 feet of elevation change. Meet at the park and ride at the north end of Media Drive near Northway Exit 18. Sign up is only by email to the leader.

Driftin' to Rifton - a Wallkill River Paddle with Shawangunk Mtns. Vews

New Paltz to Rifton, Ulster County, New York
Saturday, August 8, 2026

The Wallkill River lazily passes by New Paltz on its way northward to the Hudson River. Between New Paltz & Rifton, the banks of the river are mainly farmland, with at least one stone house that dates back to the early 1700s. This will be a serene, relaxing paddle.
We'll unload at Sojourner Truth Park, in New Paltz, then do an approx. 6.5-mile (each way) car shuttle & return to the park. The paddle will be approx. 11 miles, on flatwater, at a leisurely pace.
Canoe & kayak rentals are available at Sojourner Truth Park. But the number of rentals allowed will be determined by the number of drivers with vehicles that can carry more than one boat. To find out more about renting, Google "canoe kayak rentals on the Wallkill River, New Paltz, NY". When you apply for this outing, tell the leader if you're planning to rent a boat. If you already have a boat, tell the leader how many boats (other than your own) you can carry on the shuttle & whether they're canoes, kayaks or both.
PFDs must be worn while on the water - zipped & fitted properly. Bring an extra paddle, the usual paddling gear, paddling gloves. hat, sunscreen, lunch, 2 qts. of water or sports beverage. It's nice to have a change of clothing packed in a dry bag in case you take an unexpected swim. The leader has dry bags to loan.
An apres-paddle stop in New Paltz for refreshments is optional.
Significant rain will likely cancel this trip.
If you have never paddled with the leader before, expect him to contact you with a few questions.

Walking Wednesday

Wednesday, August 26, 2026

Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike. Must contact leader to confirm meeting time and location.
