Clermont Geology Walk with Robert Titus

Meet at the Visitor Center
Free!

Did you know that the geology of Clermont dates back 450 million years? Join professor Robert Titus as he leads us on a geology walk at Clermont State Historic Site. We will examine the bedrock rising east of the mansion and the silt and clay that lies closer to the river--- physical remnants of a time when the site was at the bottom of a marine abyss, like the Marianna Trench! Robert Titus and his wife Johanna are both retired scientists who have become popular science writers, well known throughout the Catskills.

The walk will begin at the Visitor Center and cover about 1 and a half miles throughout the park.

Please note: The walk will include slight inclines and some uneven surfaces. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Rain or shine.
