The bridges at Schiffendecker and Van Dyke preserves have been repositioned and are now open for use!
(Previous postly on July 31, 2026: Recent heavy rainfalls have displaced much of the trail infrastructure at the Van Dyke and Schiffendecker Preserves. The preserve remains open, but visitors should use caution when navigating obstacles on the trails, and may find some areas unpassable. The stewardship team will be on site in the next few days to set everything straight.)
Please report any concerns to Marshall@mohawkhudson.org.
