First Day Beginner Hike

Level: Beginner/Intermediate | Length: 3hrs | Start time: 9am Distance: 3.3 miles winter conditions This is a Free Event! but you MUST register. Join us in collaboration with NYDEC and NYSOGA on January 1st, 2026 for a refreshing 3.3-mile winter hike on the Blue Trail East, located at the end of Katrina Falls Road in the Neversink River Unique Area. We will make our way across peaceful creek crossings and follow the wooded trail up to Mullet Falls—a charming, short waterfall tucked into the quiet winter woods. Winter hiking brings its own kind of magic—crisp air, serene landscapes, and the chance to slow down and reconnect with yourself in nature. Come experience the joy of moving mindfully through the colder months with community and intention. Registration is required. Difficulty Level: This is a beginner/intermediate hike, with 492ft elevation gain and some rocky and uneven terrain. We will hike at a leisurely pace to accommodate all levels. Please arrive early due to parking constraints, and carpool if possible! Special Instructions: Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear and be prepared for winter conditions. Please bring traction devices for safety (micro spikes!) This route includes some rocky sections, so supportive footwear is recommended. Please bring water and a snack. In case of inclement weather, this hike will be cancelled and registered hikers will be notified. Hikers must be at least 8 years old to participate in this hike.
