Come for a visit and Hike the Huyck! The Huyck Preserve offers 12 miles of trails for hiking (skiing and snowshoeing seasonally) open dawn til dusk year round for public use. Lake Myosotis is open to the public for kayaking and canoeing as well as fishing. Trails loop around Lake Myosotis and Lincoln Pond, through woods, fields and wetlands, and above and below the Rensselaerville Falls which cascade over 120 feet. Education programs include swim lessons and summer programs for children of all ages, and seasonal guided hikes. All of our educational programming is influenced by our 75 year history in biological research. Located on Pond Hill Rd., the research station houses scientists from around the country for most of the year during their field research. The Huyck Preserve’s Visitors Center is located at the back entrance to the Mill House in the Hamlet of Rensselaerville NY. The Visitors Center offers displays from Com.En.Art artists, seasonal slide show, hands on table, specimen displays, and more. Stop by to pick up maps and information on up coming programs and guided hikes. |
