MOREAU — Moreau Lake State Park, located at 605 Old Saratoga Road in Gansevoort will host the following November events: 

Sunday, Nov. 12, 1 p.m.-2:30 p.m. Gratitude Rocks! Join in the Nature Center to decorate small rocks to help us remember what we’re grateful for, as well as discussing how to make gratitude a habit. This program is for people of all ages and is an ideal family activity. The cost is $1 per child, $5 per adult (cash or check), payable at the office upon arrival. Registration is required at least 24 hours in advance, call 518-793-0511. 

Monday, Nov. 13, 1 p.m. Cottage Park hike. Join an educator-led hike on the Cottage Park trail. This is an out-and-back, moderate rated hike of about 2 and a half miles. The cost is $5 each (cash or check), payable at the office upon arrival. Registration is required at least 24 hours in advance, call 518-793-0511. 

Tuesday, Nov. 21, and Tuesday, Nov. 28, 12-2 p.m. Forest Bathing. Coined shinrin-yoku in Japan in the 1980’s, forest bathing is the ecotherapeutic practice of spending time immersed in nature, absorbing it with all of your senses. The physiological and psychological benefits last for days afterward with the additional benefit of a new appreciation of our precious woodland and its inhabitants. This is a beginner-rated walk along the Nature Trail with long pauses to sit and enhance our awareness of our surroundings and it is approximately a 2-hour program. A small mat is beneficial to ensure a dry seat. This program is limited to those age 14 and up. Pay $5 per person (cash or check) at the office upon arrival. Registration is required at least 24 hours in advance, call 518-793-0511.
