Rockland Lake, Hook Mountain and Nyack Beach History Talk, Book Signing and Ice Tool Display.

Rockland Lake, Hook Mountain, and Nyack Beach
by Robert C. Maher Jr., local author and Friends Board President

The book chronicles the history of these three New York State Parks through a collection of vintage images. The author describes Rockland Lake, Hook Mountain and Nyack Beach State Parks "as peaceful places to walk, bike, swim, fish, hawk watch, observe nature and walk a section of the 347-mile Long Path." But most visitors to the parks do not know that the area was once one of the largest producers of natural ice and was also the site of large traprock quarries and the thriving town of Rockland Lake.

Robert Maher will be hosting the first book release with ice sculptures, ice tools and other Rockland Lake memorabilia at:

Rockland Lake Championship Golf Club House, 1PM
Sunday, January 26, 2014.
