July 18: Marion River Carry

The kind permission of a private landowner will allow us to explore some of the route of the old Marion River Railroad, doubly celebrated at the Adirondack Experience in two vintage and perennially popular exhibits. We may have to slosh through shallow water in a place or two as we enjoy the cultural and natural history of the area. Waterproof shoes are recommended for this walk.

Arrive to ADKX by 12:45 PM. The group will caravan over to the unmarked trailhead at 1:00 PM. 

Qué llevar: Calzado adecuado para una caminata como zapatillas o botas, ropa apropiada, agua y bocadillos si se desea.

Se requiere inscripción para esta caminata. Una vez que se inscriba, se le enviarán las instrucciones y más información. Clamer AQUÍ para registrarse
