Onteora Lake, Blue Stone Wild Forest
August 21, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
This is another group favorite and a fairly popular hike.
So, lace on your hiking boots, buckle in your puppy, and let’s hike! How many miles, or how long we’ll use will be depending on trail conditions and weather. From 2.5 to 6 miles. Shorter if it’s very hot, or raining. Heavy rain cancels. These long, and fairly flat trails go around the lake.
Here is another hiker view of this hike:

Remember to bring plenty of water for your companion and yourself. Dress according to the forecast, don’t forget the tick gnatt protection!
There is a $3 meetup fee for this adventure to offset the organizer’s site expenses. Venmo or Paypal is preferred.
If you decide to come with us, please be at the parking lot on time; some of your fellow hikers show up 10-15 min early to be ready and show them the respect they deserve AND PLAN AHEAD. Don’t be late. We leave the parking lot at 9 am.
Stay with the group. If you wander off, decide to turn around, get lost the entire group will have to wait for YOU….and possibly go look for you… Don’t be that person.
This organizer reserves the right to add from the wait-list as I see fit. If you do not feel good, stay home! Frequent attendees with a good record of attending events they sign up for will be prioritized.
I do not bring more than 1-to 2 new dogs at a time.
Please let this organizer know if you are not bringing a pooch.
Pay attention to your RSVP; no shows may not be included in this or future events. In many instances, late cancellation is considered the same as a no-show. Please cancel at least 48 hours in advance.
This organizer invests a lot of time and effort into planning these events. We ask that you be courteous and respectful to the organizers and those on the waitlist when signing up for an event.
