HURLEYVILLE – All 5 counties in the Catskill Park will be celebrating the 22nd Annual Lark in the Park, with 10 days of guided outings and programs from October 4 through 13.

Morgan Outdoors is offering two free public events in Sullivan County: Wednesday, October 8, 4-5:30pm.  The public is invited to the Loop de Loop Hike in nearby Mongaup State Park. The late afternoon start time for this 2.2-mile hike was selected so that some can come after school or leave work early. Reflections of autumn colors across Frick Pond will have you reaching for your camera! Join experienced trip leader Lisa Lyons of Morgan Outdoors. Maximum group size of 12  Interested participants can learn more about trail conditions and what to bring at catskillslark.org where you must register by October 7. 

Thursday, October 9, 5:30-6:30pm, The Third Dimension – Reading Topo Maps.  This introductory program will take place at Morgan Outdoors in Hurleyville. Participants will be introduced to topographic maps and how useful they are when planning a hike. Come sit around the map table and we’ll teach you the basics. This old-school skill is not only fun but super useful when electronic maps fail. One lucky registrant will win a topographic map to take home! Group size limited to 6.
