Description
Experience one of New York’s most rewarding hikes with a steady uphill climb leading to breathtaking summit views over the Shawangunk Ridge. Enjoy the same iconic scenery as the Lemon Squeeze—without the narrow passages—while spotting soaring eagles and unique rock formations along the way. After the summit, descend along the peaceful shores of Lake Mohonk, where forested paths and tranquil waters create the perfect finish. This hike blends adventure, stunning views, and relaxation into an unforgettable outdoor escape.
Pack your favorite sandwich and drink, we will have a snack break on the trail.
We are getting away from the city to forget about timing, enjoy nature and socialize. If you’re looking to make new outdoorsy friends, you’ve found the perfect place. But if you’re seeking a fast-paced group, this might not be the right fit.
