OPEN DISCOVERY AT FRANNY REESE STATE PARK
October 23, 2016 @ 5:00 am - 7:00 am
“Scenic Hudson initially protected (and continues to manage) this stunning landscape…” says SH’s website at http://www.scenichudson.org/parks/frannyreese. Join Lynn Bowdery for a leisurely exploration of this 251 acre park which overlooks the Hudson River. Fall colors should be coming on in the Park’s mature hardwood forest. Who knows what else might catch our attention there? For those who wish to keep walking, a link connects the park to the Walkway Loop Trail. Meet at the parking area at Johnson-Iorio Park. Contact trip leader Lynn Bowdery at lynn@bowderys.com or 255-6690 for questions.
Directions: From Route 9W in Highland, take Haviland Road, the first road to the east north of the Mid-Husdon Bridge entrance and exit. Continue to the end at the parking lot. Latitude, Longitude: 41°42’14″N, 73°57’6″W
