Did you know the Shawangunk Ridge was once home to a thriving berry-picking
industry? Discover this fascinating cultural history on a short guided snowshoe hike to the remains of cabins in a berry-picking encampment. Bring a lunch to enjoy while we warm up in the Visitor Center and watch a 27-minute documentary that presents stories from some Berry Pickers themselves.
Snowshoes are available for rent at the Sam’s Point visitor center at the rate of $5 per person for the program. Early arrival is requested for snowshoe rental. If there is insufficient snow cover, this program will be offered as a hike. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18. Meet at the Sam’s Point Visitor Center. Pre- registration is required by calling Sam's Point at 845-647-7989.
