This is the Hike of the Week for 4/8/2005 as described on the
NY-NJ Trail Conference website, with the addition of a jaunt (at the end of the hike) on the Main Path to get a view of the historic Lambier House.
In addition to the lovely trails, there is a nature center that houses some turtles and other small animals, and in the back of the center are cages
where two injured red-tailed hawks and an injured owl live. The staff inside told us that the preserve had several coyotes and we saw some coyote scat
at one point. We also saw at least a dozen deer.
Total distance covered was about 4.6 miles in 2.5 hours.
