Winterlude Event At Cherry Plain State Park

On Saturday, February 25, the Friends of Cherry Plain State Park (FCP) are hosting an outdoor day of winter activities.  The event will be based at the Cherry Plain State Park entrance on Miller Road in Berlin from  9:30 am to 2 pm.
Depending on weather and interest, FCP will host snowshoe hikes, cross-country ski treks, ice skating on the pond or simply a good long walk. An animal tracking and nature observation event will be featured. If snow conditions permit, a free snowshoe demo is available for both adults and children on a first-come, first-served basis. Members of the FCP will be on-hand throughout the day to direct and guide small parties ready to head out into the various areas of the DEC’s Capital District Wildlife Management Area. There will be a bonfire, hot chocolate, hot dogs and marshmallows for roasting. Some kids’ nature crafts will also be available inside the Park office if children are looking for a warm up during the day.
This is a free event. Please come with your outdoor equipment, winter clothing gear and potluck items to share.
FCP thanks the Town of Berlin for being ready to plow a loop near the Park entrance to provide parking.  However, as parking will be in short supply, everyone is encouraged to car-pool when possible.
For further information or offers to help at the event, please call Park staff via Grafton Lakes State Park at 279-1155. Come on out and make your own fun as you join in with other outdoor enthusiasts.
