Just a nature preserve. Lots of trails, lots of biking. Nothing is flat so expect lots of changing gears and pedal hard. It can get very remote so stick to the trails and you will be fine. Maps are online or on the signs at the entrances. Land managed by the DEC. Expect to see forest rangers patrolling or other DEC people. No vehicles allowed inside so its all hiking, biking and even horse back riding! Its a lovely place. I liked it so much I biked over 10 miles!!
Incredible place to walk with wildlife galore. Sunrise and sunsets are spectacular.
Almost 7000 acres less than 2 hours from NYC. Plenty of trails, many with low incline. Easy to follow - also easy to get lost. "I know exactly where I am, but how do I get out of here?!" Best for day hikes. No garbage and only porta potty occasionally.
It was a decent walk. It's a manicured trail mostly. I'd say for bikes would be a great spot. It is swampy so expect insects and smells. Wild flowers all over with tons of amphibians marching around. Enjoy
Perfect for an intermediate mountain biker. Trails (for the most part) are well maintained and show up on Map my Ride and Google Maps. I say mostly because the trail from Ridge Road to the Great Swamp is completely overgrown with numerous trees blocking the trail making riding a pain (August 2024).
Parking is plentiful during the week.
