The Magnificent Bridge Trail In New York That Will Lead You To A Hidden Overlook
With New York’s beautiful fall colors continuing to shine through, there’s still plenty of time to get outside and enjoy a nice hike before all of winter’s snow comes along. If you’re someone who either doesn’t have a lot of time or energy to take on long and treacherous hikes, then we have the perfect little hidden gem for you to enjoy.
Only 40-minutes outside of Albany, the Huyck Preserve in Rensselaerville is a beautiful piece of our state to explore.
Walk through the over 2,000-acre preserve and you'll be taken away into the forest that'll surround you with nothing but New York's amazing fall colors.
A relatively easy stroll through the woods, along the way to the preserve's most beautiful destination, you'll pass over charming little bridges that allow you to cross the creek.
Situated at the top of the over 120-foot Rensselaerville Falls, you'll have a safe bird's eye view of the falls in a way you won't have with most of New York's natural wonders.
That's right! The trails at the Huyck Preserve are free to access and open all year long. In total, you'll find over 12-miles of hiking trails here, making this a gorgeous place that you could spend the entire day exploring if you wanted to. Another good thing to know? Lake Myosotis is open to the public for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.
