Enjoy the Outdoors, Nature, the River, Wildlife, Riparian Vistas, Peace, and Serenity
The Club is an organization of people who share an interest in a German hiking traditions and culture.
Our Conservancy‘s MISSION is to keep the Hilltop Reservation as a nature preserve that provides habitat for native plant and wildlife species; and a site that provides respite, enjoyment and learning activities to the community.
The trails offer opportunities for moderate loop hikes of varying distances on the west facing slopes as well as access to extended hiking on the Osborn Loop Trail and Appalachian Trail in the adjacent Hudson Highlands State Park. In the summer there are pocket views of the Hudson River. These are called “osios” at Manitoga, from the language of the Algonquins.
