One mission of the
Red hook Greenway and Trails Committee is to
develop trails in natural settings for use as a
resource to promote wellness, to enhance the
quality of life, and to fight childhood and
adult obesity. The
physical and mental health value of frequent
walks has been well documented. It has been
proven to be of great value in maintaining our
wellness in the midst of our busy and stressful
lives.
We are fortunate to have two
wooded trails in our immediate area and one
stone dust track oval that have parking areas
and walks of approximately one to two miles.
These distances and the time required to walk
them seems to be comfortable and accommodating
to many people. Poet's Walk is aloop of close to
two miles; Fathers Trail at UTS is a loop of
close to one mile; the Recreation Park is an
oval one-half mile in length that cam be walked
multiple times.
All of these places offer a
secure parking area from which to begin and end
a walk through fields and woods or through a
recreation park. The Red Hook Greenway and
Trails Committee is seeking similar areas to
develop into trails.
If you have any land or know
landowners who would consider making land
available for trails of any type or length,
please contact us. You may call Howie Callies at
845-758-4410 for more information. |
