Get Ready for the 9th Annual Amy’s Adventure Race for the Lake!

Lace up your trail shoes and mark your calendars. This exhilarating trail race through stunning forests and tough single track isn’t just about testing your limits – it’s about coming together to protect the land we love.

Choose between our classic 4.5-mile course or challenge yourself with the 10-mile route, both offering epic views and rewarding climbs. Whether you’re racing for a PR or just for the fun of it, every step supports critical land protection projects, and champions sustainable trailways, outdoor recreation, and helps expand outdoor access in the Lake George region.

After crossing the finish line, celebrate with fellow runners at our After Party at Bolton Landing Brewing Co., where we’ll toast to another year of adventure and conservation!

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable event. It’s gonna be a muddy good time!

The Mountain Top Historical Society of Greene County invites you to hike the Catskill Mountains with us! KAATERSKILL JUNCTION HIKE with Paul LaPierre, Saturday, October 4th at 9:00 AM.

You will be stepping back in time to the days when the Kaaterskill and Stony Clove Railroad came up to the Junction from Phoenicia and then split to the west on the Hunter Branch and headed east on the Tannersville Branch toward the Hotel Kaaterskill. A track plan of the junction and photographs showing the several sidings that served the sorting of freight and passenger cars to the two branches will be provided, supported by rail ties that still remain 84 years after the abandonment of the line in 1940. The hike will visit the remains of the Light Dam Bridge over the Schoharie Creek. A side excursion to the new Hunter Branch Rail Trail pedestrian bridge over a tributary of the Schoharie Creek will be added after returning to our start at the Junction site.

Meeting time: 9:00AM 4 October 2025

Difficulty: This is a moderate hike on an old, mostly level railroad bed, about 4 miles long with leader Paul LaPierre exploring the area around Kaaterskill Junction on State Route214. There is one small shallow stream crossing with stepping stones—hiking poles or staff are advised.

Directions: Address: 4282 Rte 214 About a mile south from the 23A end of Rte 214 on the left there is a sign planted in the grass marking the Junction —drive in and park on the U-shaped driveway.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.
