A strong crew of club members canoed out to Coney Island and teamed up with @CarverCoParks to make improvements. After transplanting some lilies and pulling invasive buckthorns, we got a tour of the island. Then finish with a delicious meal of cheap but perfectly charred hotdogs.

However, rentals are planned to resume next weekend and continue through March 7th if snow conditions allow.

We love our winter walkers but walking on groomed ski trails will make them unusable. If you see parallel tracks pressed into the snow, you are on a ski trail and we ask that you please use other trails available in the park. Thank you!
