Mine Kill Falls / Lansing Manor Ride

Ride Captain: Ray Sanders

We’ll start with a scenic ride through the beautiful Catskills as we head to Minekill Falls. To view the falls, there is a stairway trail that is a 5-10 minute walk from the parking area.

From there we’ll head up the road to the NY Power Authority Blenheim-Gilboa Power Project Visitor’s Center, which is housed in a restored 19th-century dairy barn and is part of the Lansing Manor complex. The Visitor Center features a wide range of interactive exhibits on such subjects as Basics of Electricity, Uses of Electricity, and operation of the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project. While we are there, you will also have the option to tour the historic Lansing Manor, which is located on the same property, just a few steps from the visitor’s center. The Manor, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, contains 10 large rooms on two floors, plus a below-ground kitchen and other utility rooms and is a classic example of Federal period architecture. The tour is free, but donations are accepted.

When we leave the Lansing Manor Complex, we will head straight to DaX Powersports for lunch, where the ride will end.
