Long Path section 13 is supposed to be easy because we know the trail and have done it a few times, in sections. We got up, drove down the hill, crossed over, and were greeted by a “Road Closed” sign. They closed off Ferguson Road to do some street work. This added on some extra…
The Mamakating Fitness Trail is open for business! While we’ve lived in Wurtsboro since 2013, we’ve only been to Mamakating Park a handful of times.
