纽约州阿尔斯特县消息—纽约州公园、娱乐与历史保护办公室（OPRHP）与帕利塞兹州际公园委员会（PIPC）、开放空间研究所（OSI）宣布，米尼瓦斯卡州立公园保护区（Minnewaska State Park Preserve）的阿沃斯廷湖马车道步道（Lake Awosting Carriage Road Trail）翻修完成并重新开放。这项历时17个月、耗资130万美元的工程修复了沿阿沃斯廷湖的2.6英里马车道，工程获纽约州环境保护基金（EPF）50万美元拨款支持。
据州公园局公布，工程包括拓宽与重铺部分路段、新建挡土墙与排水设施以减少水浸与侵蚀，具体含8,500英尺排水沟、50个涵洞、6,000平方英尺挡土墙及逾15,000吨路面材料，由蒙巴克斯挖掘公司（Mombaccus Excavation）施工。翻修完成后，访客可绕阿沃斯廷湖全周完成环湖徒步；该湖为沙旺贡克岭（Shawangunk Ridge）北部最大的「天湖」。自2014年以来，OSI 与州公园局、委员会合作已投入660万美元翻修该园历史马车道，迄今修复累计18英里；三方目标为修复全园35英里的维多利亚时代马车道网，连同州公园局与委员会另行修复的10英里，全园已重建路段近30英里。
米尼瓦斯卡州立公园保护区面积24,000英亩，为纽约州第三大州立公园，距曼哈顿约90分钟车程，年访客约70万人次。州公园局执行副专员汤姆·阿尔沃思（Tom Alworth）表示，三方自豪地重开改善后的阿沃斯廷湖马车道；OSI 总裁兼首席执行官埃里克·库勒赛德（Erik Kulleseid）表示，该工程具体展示了环境保护基金的实际效益。州预算把2026—27年度环境保护基金维持在创纪录的4.25亿美元，另加可持续未来计划2,500万美元。
Lake Awosting Carriage Road at Minnewaska State Park Preserve in Ulster County, New York Reopens After a $1.3 Million Restoration: 2.6 Miles Repaired Bring Rest
ULSTER COUNTY, New York — The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), together with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission (PIPC) and the Open Space Institute (OSI), announced the completion and reopening of the Lake Awosting Carriage Road Trail at Minnewaska State Park Preserve. The 17-month, $1.3 million project repaired 2.6 miles of the carriage road along Lake Awosting, supported in part by a $500,000 grant from the State's Environmental Protection Fund (EPF).
According to State Parks, the work widened and resurfaced sections of the road and added new retaining walls and drainage improvements to reduce flooding and erosion, including 8,500 linear feet of ditching, 50 culverts, 6,000 square feet of retaining walls and more than 15,000 tons of road materials, performed by Mombaccus Excavation. With the project complete, visitors can complete a loop hike around the full perimeter of Lake Awosting, the largest sky lake on the northern Shawangunk Ridge. Since 2014, OSI has invested $6.6 million in collaboration with OPRHP and PIPC to renovate Minnewaska's historic carriage road trails, restoring 18 miles to date; the partners' goal is to rehabilitate the park's entire 35-mile Victorian-era carriage road network, and with an additional 10 miles restored by OPRHP and PIPC, the fully rebuilt network stands at nearly 30 miles.
The 24,000-acre Minnewaska State Park Preserve is the state's third-largest park, about 90 minutes from Manhattan, attracting an estimated 700,000 visitors each year. OPRHP Executive Deputy Commissioner Tom Alworth said State Parks is proud to reopen the improved Lake Awosting Carriage Road Trail standing with the Commission and OSI, and OSI President and CEO Erik Kulleseid said the completion illustrates the tangible benefits of the EPF. The 2026-27 New York State Budget maintained the EPF at a record-high $425 million, supplemented by an additional $25 million from the Sustainable Future Program.
