Along the trail Mr. Bennet, former Education Director for the Catskill Center, will discuss many interesting aspects of the Ashokan including how the topography of the region helps keep the water pure and why the original engineers chose this site.

The hike will last 3.5 hours and will be on moderately hilly terrain. Participants should bring their lunch and there will be a stop midway through the hike to eat.
