September 19: 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 history 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. 

Ce qu'il faut apporter: Des chaussures adéquates pour une randonnée comme des baskets ou des bottes, des vêtements appropriés, de l'eau et des collations si désiré.

Inscription obligatoire pour cette randonnée. L'itinéraire et de plus amples informations vous seront envoyés après votre inscription. Clécher ICI pour s'inscrire
