A popular hiking destination in Ulster County is getting a much-needed update.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced on March 26th, 2022, that State Parks and the Palisades Interstate Park Commission have opened The Lenape Steps in the Sam’s Point area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve.

These steps aren’t a new addition to Sam’s Point, however, they were refurbished after sitting in a “state of disrepair for many decades” according to the DEC. The DEC explains that the Lenape Steps are a historic piece of Shawangunk history, they write:

The Lenape Steps, located at the base of the Shawangunk Ridge in the Ulster County hamlet of Cragsmoor, date to the 1860s when an early hotel owner built them in a narrow chasm for guests to reach the top of the ridge. The stairs remained a popular tourist attraction after the hotel was destroyed by fire in 1874 but had been in a state of disrepair for many decades.

For the last 3 years, over 50 volunteers from the Jolly RoversTrail Crew have been hard at work refurbishing the historic steps. The Jolly Rovers Trail Crew is made up of a group of Hudson Valley locals who specialize in the building of natural stone pathways in difficult-to-reach areas.

Emily Hague, who is Jolly Rovers Board Chairwoman, said in a press release “This was the most technically challenging project we’ve ever done, due to the custom and precise stone shaping involved. This project employed collective skills our crew had been honing over the last decade, and it advanced our collective ability.”

Sam’s Point at Minnewaska Preserve is one of the most popular hiking destinations in the Hudson Valley. Because of its increasing popularity, starting in May of 2022, if you’re thinking of hiking Sam’s Point you must make a parking reservation for a $10.95.  More details…

The State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the Palisades Interstate Park Commission (PIPC) have announced the reopening of historic cliffside steps at Sam’s Point area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve after a three-year rebuilding project.

The Lenape Steps were constructed originally in the 1860s by Thomas Botsford, who subsequently built a hotel nearby against the base of the escarpment. After the hotel was destroyed by fire in 1874, the steps remained in use, but gradually fell into disrepair from damage caused by water, freezing temperatures and thawing.

“Having the Lenape Steps restored to their former glory represents another improvement to one of the Hudson Valley’s premier recreational attractions,” said State Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid. “This gives visitors a now much-safer way to reach Sam’s Point, the highest point on the Shawangunk Ridge with its panoramic vistas.”

Restoration of the stairs was the result of a three-year project by about 50 volunteers from the Jolly Rovers, a Hudson Valley group specializing in the building of natural stone pathways in difficult to reach areas.

“The Commission was very pleased to partner with the Jolly Rovers to support the restoration of the Lenape Steps,” said Palisades Interstate Parks Commission (PIPC) Executive Director Joshua Laird. “This project brings back a historic feature that has helped visitors reach Sam’s Point, the highest point on the Shawangunk Ridge, for over 150 years. We salute the Rovers for their dedication and hard work that helps us keep important park trails and stonework in good shape for the future.”

Starting in July 2019, volunteer crews from the Jolly Rovers primarily using hand tools cut, shaped, and set about 100 stone steps made from nearby boulders. More…

Sam’s Point

CRAGSMOOR – The historic cliffside steps at Sam’s Point Area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve have been reopening after a three-year rebuilding project.

The Lenape Steps, at the base of the Shawangunk Ridge in Cragsmoor, date back to the 1860s, when early hotel owner Thomas Botsford built them in a narrow chasm for guests to reach the top of the ridge.

The stairs remained a popular tourism attraction after the hotel was destroyed by fire in 1874 but had been in a state of disrepair for many decades.

“This gives visitors a now much-safer way to reach Sam’s Point, the highest point on the Shawangunk Ridge with its panoramic vistas,” said State Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid.

Restoration of the stairs was the result of a project by about 50 volunteers from the Jolly Rovers, a Hudson Valley group specializing in the building of natural stone pathways in difficult to reach areas.

Ulster County Executive Patrick Ryan called Sam’s Point “a real treasure.”

Starting in July 2019, volunteer crews from the Jolly Rovers primarily using hand tools cut, shaped, and set about 100 stone steps made from nearby boulders.

More than 7,000 man-hours were devoted to the work.

The Palisades Interstate Park Commission provided $32,000 to support the project and the Jolly Rovers raised over $4,200.

The Lenape Steps are the latest project at Minnewaska to involve the Jolly Rovers, whose members have also worked on the stairway that leads to the base of Stony Kill Falls and the staircase that connects Rainbow Falls to the Upper Awosting Carriage Road Trail, as well as the stairway connecting the nearby Mohonk Preserve further north on the ridge.

The group has also been involved…
