Alert to Hikers

A fire that burned more than 3000 acres in Minnewaska State Park Preserve this week has resulted in the park's closure, including Sam's Point, and is likely to last at least through Saturday, April 26, if not longer.

Some trails in the Mohonk Preserve that give access to Minnewaska have also been closed at the park's request.

These trails include:

• High Peterskill Trail from the Coxing Trailhead

• All trails south of the Trapps Steel Bridge are closed.  These include:
  * Millbrook Ridge Trail
  * Coxing Trail
  * Trapps Carriage Road

For the most up-to-date information about the status of these closings, call the Minnewaska State Park Preserve Office at 845-255-0752 or visit the Mohonk Preserve website.

The Trail Conference will also post updates on our website as we receive them.
