Best Nature Preserve New York: reviews

If you're making the trip all the way to Niagara Falls, make sure that you visit both sides, and I would recommend starting on the Ontario side...

Nick Connor is a wonderful park ranger who shared many insights about the animals in winter. My hubby and I took his educational program hike on Saturday...

Beautiful preserve. I’ll be back. I walked the 4.5 mile putter trail as listed on AllTrails. Highly recommended.

Avalon is a lovely escape into nature. Trails are very well kept and labeled. I always come here to just relax and unwind on a trail.

Great place for a walk, my kid rated it an 8 out of 10. They aren't listed on the list of wildlife but there were tons of lizards.

Great Small zoo with cattle, birds, llamas, tortoises, peacocks etc. Bring change for the feed machines. Free admission, cute

Wonderful taking part in the APEC Hikers and Trail Crew program for adults. During longer daylight hours, there are weekly hikes, and there are...

Beautiful hiking. Well marked trailed. Parking was a bit tight but manageable. The place is big so no crowds on trails, which is nice. We loved it.

Muddy all the way up to the shelter and Muddy all the way back down. Cool place. Make sure you clean up after yourself.

Nice walk if it is not buggy. I park just past where Wherle turns into Shishler. I usually go to the left and eventually you will come tillman road...

The Montezuma Audubon Center is an amazing place to study birds, reptiles and other wildlife native to the State of NY. The center is really big with...

Just the right distance to take the dog around the loop. Well maintained, level, dry path, changing scenery with lots of info along the way. I wish...

Who knew there was such a remote-feeling hard-to-find nature preserve so close to 59th St? This area was closed to the public for nearly 70 years...

Went out to log a couple geocaches. Trails slick in spots. Temps in the high 50's meant deer ticks were active.

The Manson is closed but the grounds are open. Beautiful spot to walk and relax. No bathroom.

So serene! Great walk to kill an hr. The paths are well marked. Just watch the roots they are easy to trip on. And you will need to have balance in a couple...

Great spot to stop and unwind for a few minutes or few hours, also great spot to go fishing, people have caught all kinds of fish below the falls...

Beautiful location makes me feel as if I am outside of the city!
