Art Adventures at North Creek’s Ski Bowl Park

Take a guided hike and painting lesson at a beautiful waterfall on Gore Mountain.

Kate Hartley and Friends of Johnsburg Parks host an art adventure that takes advantage of the fantastic trail system that begins at North Creek’s Ski Bowl Park on Route 28 in the Gore Mountain region of the Adirondacks.

The group will hike up the Red and Schaefer Trails to a beautiful waterfall that tumbles down from Gore Mountain. There’s a lovely clearing where participants can sit and set up easels to create paintings of the waterfall, trees, cliffs, and a slice of sky. Participants will learn to use pastels to complete the paintings and recapture the whites of the frothing water.

Kate and a helper will circulate to give encouragement and guidance. Snack time and an informal “critique and art show” of the new masterpieces will occur on-site before the hike back down. The group will gather again at the Grunblatt Memorial Beach Pavilion in the Ski Bowl Park for a photo of their creations.

The program is open to ALL ages and abilities (an adult must accompany children under 10).
