Lakeville Iron Trail Hike Sunday Jan. 27 1pm
Join Doc Bayne and Friends and step back in time when iron mining was king. We will hike back in history starting when iron mining first came to New York State. We will walk by the first mine discovered in 1736, and explore the iron mining industry up to 1923. Approximately 2 to 3 hour, easy to moderate hike. In case of snow or ice on trails, please wear boots and if you have crampons please bring them.
The trails can be steep and rocky, so please wear sturdy hiking shoes. Our hikes will include stops along the way to interpret natural and historic features. Hunting is allowed in portions of Sterling Forest State Park, we suggest wearing hunter orange or bright colors other than white during the hunting season. Registration is required for all programs.
