This is the future home of Riverside Park, which runs along the bank of the Willowemoc Creek from the bridge to Junction Pool. The project involves restoring this natural area and developing a walking path, picnic area and DEC-marked fishing access. Roscoe is one of three official County Stream Clean-up sites, sponsored by the Division of Planning, the Sullivan County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and Sullivan Renaissance. If you can let your own spring cleaning go unfinished a little longer, we can certainly use the help for a few hours! Spread the word to friends and neighbors--the more the merrier. Please let us know (call 807-0527 or email below) if you plan to participate, so we can have a head count for refreshments (hotdogs, hamburgers and sodas provided by Live Bait Bar & Grill and the Roscoe Chamber of Commerce) and a “special gift” (T-shirt), provided by SWCD.
