RecoveryHike

Here’s the featured preserve for February. Welcome to Nutten Hook preserve. A historical site along the Hudson River, across from Coxsackie. Parking for the site is on the southbound side of Route 9J. There are a few short trails which loop around and it’s a great spot to put your kayak in the Hudson, on summery days. Keep your eyes peeled for Bald Eagles and Ospreys.

Not a suggestion. Please don’t pass a box like this by, registering at the trailhead is important. By registering, not only does it provide important information about trail usage, but also provides information that may save your life.

Last year we celebrated our fourth anniversary of the formation of this support group by going to Howe Cavern. This year, we have something else in mind, but would love to hear suggestions from the community how we should celebrate 5 Years of RecoveryHike. It has to be an outdoor adventure. Let’s hear the suggestions!!

This year’s schedules are headed to the printer, but here’s a look at the hikes for 2026. Thank you for the wonderful work.

We also put together some Spanish language schedules, there will be at least two wheelchair accessible hikes this year and we may even have a doggy day, for those who’d like to bring their puppy friends (normally we do not allow pets, so keep your ears peeled about that hike as it is not listed on the schedule.)
This year we are really looking for volunteers to lead a hike, or two. Reach out if you’re interested. This is going to be a great year!

It’s that time of year again… Fundraising Time! Don’t wait until giving Tuesday to make your contribution to a worthy cause, help us meet our goal today! We have big plans to expand our efforts this coming year, but need a little help to get there.

What a Weekend!! Two Hikes in a row. The first 10 are from our stroll through the woods at Israel Wittman Sanctuary. What a great spot for Mt. biking and simply enjoying the evergreen canopy.

Today We made it to the top of the Catskills for our final hike until March. Happy Solstice Everyone, the days are getting brighter! Have a safe holiday season and New Year!
