Blue Moon Walk at Schoharie Crossing
Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site Blue Moon Walk, Wednesday, August 30, at 7:30pm at the Visitor Center
Fort Hunter, NY – Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site will hold a Blue Moon Walk on Wednesday, August 30th, starting at 7:30pm from the Visitor Center, 129 Schoharie Street, Ft. Hunter. The second full moon in August will also be a Supermoon.
The August Blue Moon, according to the Farmer’s Almanack, “will be the closest, biggest, and brightest full supermoon of 2023. It’s exceptionally close in Moon miles from Earth (222,043 miles). The next time we’ll have a closer full supermoon is November 5, 2025, when the moon lies 221,817 miles from Earth.” Experience this wonder in the sky with your guide, Michael. This Blue Moon Walk will traverse about a mile of historic Erie Canal towpaths over slightly uneven and grassy trail. We recommend dressing for the weather, comfortable footwear, and bringing a flashlight.
This walk event is free and open to the public.
