Preserve Rules

• Please stay on trails at all times! As a field station, there is on-going research near trails, which you may ruin if you leave the trail, along with damaging the habitat and ecosystem which you are visiting.
• Huyck Preserve is a carry-in carry-out nature preserve, please take all your trash with you and do not litter!
• Public picnic benches are available near the beach and kayak areas on Lake Myosotis's shore.
• No fires are allowed except in Huyck Preserve grills when they are available at the Lake Myosotis beach and boat launch. 
• No recreational drones are permitted on Preserve property.
• No geocaching is permitted on Preserve property.
• Hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing are allowed on trails.
• The Preserve does not allow collection of any specimens.
• No hunting or trapping is permitted on Preserve property.
• Dogs are allowed on Preserve trails, but not at the beach (due to public swimming site rules). Dogs must be leashed at all times and picked up after!
• Fishing and ice fishing allowed at Lake Myosotis only, with valid NYS permits. Ice fishing holes can be dug with hand-powered augurs only, gas augurs NOT permitted. For current ice conditions, please check our social media pages.
