Watkins Glen State Park 1009 N Franklin St, Watkins Glen, NY
Join us for our annual James Potorti Museum of the Earth/State Parks Gorge Walks on Friday, August 2, in Watkins Glen State Park.
PRI has been offering this series of free Friday-morning interpretive walks in partnership with the Finger Lakes State Parks for more than 16 years. The Finger Lakes region has an outstanding geological record exposed in the local gorges. These guided walks will introduce major concepts about geology and geologic time, allowing one to interpret the geological history of the region while enjoying the beauty of our local area.The walks were officially named in 2004 in memory of Ithaca native James E. Potorti, a geologist who died in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Please note that while the walks are free, there is a parking charge for the State Parks. Meet at the main (lower) entrance, at the end of the parking lot near the trail.
Free
