New Seventh Edition of West Hudson Trails Map Set Inlcudes Trail Mileage

Made by the people who build the trails, this map set features more than 70 miles of marked trails in Storm King State Park, Black Rock Forest, Schunemunk Mountain State Park, and other nearby parklands. Nearly 25 miles of the Highlands Trail, along with more than 10 miles of the Long Path, are shown on the maps. Along with the trail mileage figures, this revised edition has trail lines that have been redrawn based on newer, more accurate GPS data and aerial photography. A new trail has been added in Black Rock Forest, and several additional viewpoints have been added throughout the maps. Other corrections and adjustments to the trails and map features make this seventh edition of West Hudson Trails the most accurate we have ever published.

This revised edition, released in August, includes trail mileage figures directly on the map front, providing distances between trail junctions and significant trail features. Additional map features include 20-foot contour lines, UTM gridlines, green overprint for protected lands, parking areas, and other points of interest. 

At only $8.95 ($6.71 for Trail Conference members), this map set is a must-have for exploring these parklands in Orange County west of the Hudson River. To obtain the newly revised print map set, shop online, call 201-512-9348, or visit the Trail Conference office.
