The Spring meeting of the Friends of Cherry Plain State Park will be held Thursday, April 23, at 6:30 pm at the Bridgeway Restaurant off Route 22 in Cherry Plain. The Friends group is looking for new members to help grow the organization and expand its action in the regional community and the State Park.
The meeting’s agenda includes an update on making better links between the State Park and bordering Capital District Wildlife Management Areas. Group members have been drafting a map that covers both parcels of land, with trails and the types of permitted recreation noted as well.
The Park invites all lovers of the outdoors – from hikers to fishermen, parents to outdoor sportsmen – to attend. Please RSVP by calling the Grafton Lakes State Park’s office at 279-1155 to ensure adequate seating at the Bridgeway Restaurant.
