Kanape Brook
"A 2.65-mile hike takes you along the Kanape Brook, where you can see remnants of hillside farms on what was once known as Freeman Avery Road. You pass streams rushing to the brook, stone walls, farm foundations (on your left), Norway spruce plantings, a stone spring box built by the Civilian Conservation Corps at 1.25 mile, and finally a clearing where the trail crosses the brook (small trout have been spotted). Here the trail runs through a dark, dense plantation of Norway spruce trees. Once these trees would have been used for lumber and logs and protected the farm that stood here from winds and snowdrifts. The trail leaves the old road at 2.65 miles, continuing up to Ashokan High Point Mountain (3080'). The last 1.25 miles is very steep."
