Plus, local apples, hot apple cider and doughnuts will be available for all!

Space is limited, so please sign up in advance to reserve your spot.

Note: Children under 12 need to be supervised by a parent. People over 16 years old, must have a valid NY fishing license and abide by all DEC regulations. Please see full rules here.
