We’ll see two beautiful lakes and interesting rock formations on this 6.35-mile loop run. At the halfway point, you’ll have the option of taking a lakeside snack and water break or adding onto your run, with a scenic side trip to Black Ash Swamp (for a total distance of ~8 miles). The Trail Conference maintains Harriman and Bear Mountain parks’ extensive, 250-mile trail network and cares for more than 2,100 miles of trails regionwide. There will be two run leaders to accommodate faster and slower paces.
