Christman Sanctuary image

Christman Sanctuary
Nature preserve
👍👍 Fun experience. Wear water shoes and cool off in the stream or near the falls. Part of the orange trail was blocked by a fallen tree but the blue trail, lean to and Christman memorial were definitely cool to see. Parking is minimal but this is a big place to roam.

👍👍 The BEST marked & well-maintained trail I've been on in the area! There are a few trail options, so you can make it a long nature walk or shorter, depending on your time constraints.

Hudson Pointe Nature Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 Really fun hike just months away from West Mountain. Long enough where you get to see a lot of cool things, short enough that my 6 year old could do it. Pro tip: There are some wooden foot brushes over the marsh land by the river that can flood over slightly and freeze during the winter (see photos...

Schumann Preserve at Pilot Knob
Nature preserve
👍👍 One of the best hikes at Lake George. This is moderate level. We went there when it snowed and didn't have spikes on the shoes. The road was very icy and slippery. It's almost 2 mile hike with moderate steep and slopes. The views are breath taking and totally worth the hike. There is a gazebo...

👍👍 Update 2022. Expanded parking area. New trail access added. Easy walk in for all trails now and great access for emergency responders. Fencing added to keep you from slippery trail edges. Great preserve. 4 waterfalls and some really nice hiking. 2 entrances, one on Mariaville Rd, the other on...

Round Lake Preserve image

Round Lake Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 At the southeast end of Round Lake, a long gravel road with some sneaky potholes leads you to a free-to-use beautiful boat launch and fishing pier overlooking Andrew Kill. This is a beautiful location to view the fall leaves and sit in peace with nature :-) But if you are not fishing or launching a...

Orra Phelps Nature Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 The trail splits almost immediately. I prefer the walk along the creek to the left. There's a steep-ish hill going down so be careful when the ground is wet. Those leaves get slippery. The right-side trail brings you more into a sandy pine forest. Parking is ample.
4.60 (55 reviews) (~10.16 km from centre)
Frenchs Hollow Falls image

Frenchs Hollow Falls
Nature preserve
🫤 Beautiful set of falls with lots of history and a nice view on the walking bridge. However I would recommend people avoiding getting closer, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING OUT OF THE WATER. Trash is extremely abundant both roadside and within the water. Condoms, clothes, buckets, glass, metals,...

Galway Nature Preserve image

Galway Nature Preserve
Nature preserve
👍 Great to get away for a few minutes, and very child friendly. I give it four stars only because if you are looking for a good workout and have some experience, these trails are pretty short with little to no grade.

NYS DEC Old Gick Parcel of Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park

👍👍 Always a nice walk. I think I missed the peak of the lupines recently, but had a beautiful little hike nevertheless. Easy terrain and some cool birds around here to keep an eye and an ear out for!
