Please join us on New Year’s Day for our annual First Day Hike to the Bash Bish Falls. We’ll meet at Taconic State Park headquarters (253 State Route 344, Copake Falls, NY) at 1 p.m. and head off to the Falls via the Iron Works Heritage trail.

This is a family friendly hike of about 3 miles. Shorter options are available too — meet us at the Copake Iron Works, 35 Valley View Road in Copake Falls, around 1:15 or at the Bash Bish Falls lower parking lot around 1:30.

On our return, we’ll have a warm campfire, hot cocoa and snacks.

As usual, there will be swag, compliments of the NYS Office of Parks (first come, first served) and as always, kids and canines are most welcome!

We look forward to seeing you on New Year’s Day!
