Reviews
Easy and relaxing hike in the woods.
This is a nice off the beaten path preserve that is very pristine and well stewarded locally. There are trails that lead to views of the narrow ponds and lake that support diverse wildlife of the Adirondack foothills.
Not to be rude but… are we all talking about the same “trail” on here? Nothing is marked. I don’t know whether to take an animal foot path or if it’s a trail? Had to turn around once I got to the water (I could see cars driving by on the other side)
Trail is most certainly longer than 2 miles caw caw
Says you can’t bring your dog. Lame caw caw
Nice natural trail. Well marked and maintained. I did a loop that was about 4K. Really great place to walk my dogs.
Note, there is no parking area. You just need to see the trailhead (Google does a good job at getting you there), then pull off the road.
