Special Weather Statement issued May 3 at 3:18AM EDT by NWS Albany NY
The combination of drying fine fuels, northwest wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph, and relative humidity values between 25 and 35 percent will contribute to an elevated risk of fire spread late this morning into this afternoon for the Mid-Hudson Valley, eastern Catskills, Taconics, Greater Capital District, and Lake George-Saratoga regions in eastern New York. As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban remains in effect until May 14. No burn permits are issued. Use extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources such as machinery or matches and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose of cigarette butts. Please refer to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation website for more information on burn restrictions.
About
Peebles Island State Park occupies 190 acres at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers in Saratoga County. The park offers spectacular views of river rapids and provides miles of paths through gently rolling, wooded landscape ideal for walking, jogging, and wildlife observation. The year-round trails attract hikers in warmer months and cross-country skiers and snowshoers in winter. The park serves as a popular day-use destination for picnicking and fishing, with picnic tables, grills, and one pavilion available for rental. The island's location makes it an excellent spot for viewing migratory birds, with over 170 species recorded. Peebles Island is also home to the Bureau of Historic Sites and Bureau of Historic Preservation Field Services, providing technical services for New York's 35 state-operated historic sites. This is a day-use only park with no overnight camping facilities. Bicycles are not permitted on trails. The park is open year-round from sunrise to sunset, with extended hours during striped bass season.
