The #NimhamTrail climbs #BreakneckRidge in #HudsonHighlandsStatePark & is named after Daniel Nimham, the last chief of the Wappinger tribe. He was the most prominent #Indigenous person of his time in the #HudsonValley and fought for freedom in the American Revolution. #IPM #ptny

@ErikKulleseid When I ride my bicycle on it this summer it was 90 degrees and we noted it would be even more delightful in the autumn. #GreatSwamp Colors and sounds abound Love the Empire State Trail

All that’s left to do on the East Gate Plaza is add some finishing touches, install A/V, secure vendors for our new spaces, and cut a ribbon. Won’t be long until the grand opening. @NYstateparks @SaratogaAssoc

Part of what makes our iconic state parks system so special, is the feeling that nature is untouched- and you play a role in keeping that beauty alive.

When you visit a park, trail, forest or historic site, be sure to do your part and #LeaveNoTrace

Great to be at the Walkway with Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul for the unveiling of Sojourner Truth

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

On #WomensEqualityDay, unveiled statue of Sojourner Truth, an Ulster native & pioneer of women’s suffrage movement.

Hope it helps children & families visiting Walkway Over the Hudson understand struggles of our suffragists & work we still have to do to achieve true equality.
