Camp Price Kids Hiking Links

Harriman Hikers received a nice email the other day from from Marlene Kleinman, Educational Director at Camp Price (Prentice, WI)

I just wanted to take the time to send you a quick thank you note on behalf of our campers here at Camp Price! I’m the educational director at the camp and we’ve recently began a winter hiking/camping program that requires our campers to go through a short hiking safety/survival skill course. In our research we came across your page (http://harrimanhikers.org/links) and really found it to be helpful, so from all of us, thank you!

As a small token of our appreciation, we thought we’d send along a few other sites my campers actually came across during their research. We figured that it was such an important topic, the more resources the merrier :) Here they are:

Harriman Hikers would like to thank the Camp Price Campers for their helpful and useful links as well as commend them for their resourcefulness! :)

Lake Nawahunta, Harriman State Park, NY

From Harriman Trails – A Guide and History by William Myles (1991):

Lake Nawahunta was created in 1915 by the construction of a dam across Lewis Brook, a tributary of Queensboro Brook. The land did not belong to the Park then and it was built to be a trout hatchery. It is a small lake, 7-10 feet deep, visible from Seven Lakes Drive just south of the Silvermine Ski area.

… the name Nawahunta is Mohegan for “place of trout”.
