Today it supports an abundance of wildlife including the majestic Bald Eagle. Wear appropriate foot gear, bring water and a bag lunch for this three to four hour hike. Meet at Iona Island parking area on 9W, half-mile south of Bear Mountain Bridge Circle. Heavy rain cancels the hike, listen to the recording at 845-534-5506. Limited admission.
