First-Day Hike at Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Thu Jan 1, 2026
9:00am to 11:00am ET
Age: 6+
Price: Free
Location:
Rockefeller State Park Preserve - Rockwood Hall
Start your New Year with an invigorating 1.5 mile walk along the Hudson River across the beautiful landscape of Rockwood Hall. The hike is guided by Larry Trachtenberg of the Sawmill River Audubon Society, who will keep an eye out for winter birds including both bald eagles and the red tailed hawks often seen in this part of the preserve.
Dress warmly since it is always colder by the Hudson and bring binoculars if you have them. No pets please.
This hike is at Rockwood Hall, DO NOT go the main Preserve entrance. If heavy rain/ice/snow or road closures occur, the walk will be canceled. You will be notified by email the day before.
Free, but registration is required.
