The Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy has 22 preserves that are open to the public for recreational activities such as walking, hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. We invite you to explore them!
All preserves are open to the public, free of charge, from dawn to dusk. Parking is available at each location. Please abide by the following rules and regulations for your enjoyment, as well as for the enjoyment of others, and for further protection of the preserves.
In an effort to stay clean and green, MHLC has adopted a “Carry-in, Carry-out” policy. What you bring into the conservation area, please take out with you, including trash. Thank you!
