Rushing Waters: High Falls Dam Release Spectacular

It’s an early morning departure, but the reward is nothing short of thunderous! Join Phyllis and Steve at 7:00 AM for a 3-mile out-and-back trek to witness the raw power of the High Falls dam release in Glenville. Normally a quiet mountain cascade, the opening of the dam transforms this canyon into a roaring whitewater wonderland. This beginner-friendly hike features a manageable 288-foot elevation change, winding downward toward the river gorge via a well-maintained trail. We are hitting the trail early to secure the perfect vantage point to watch the tranquil riverbed suddenly come alive with rushing, misty currents. Don't forget your camera for this dramatic summer spectacle!
