41 Acres Preserve(Town of Clifton Park, Saratoga County)

My second short walk for the day was at the 41 Acres Preserve, along the north shores of the Mohawk River in Clifton Park.  A small Clifton Park Open Space sign can be found at an otherwise unmarked dirt access road off of Riverview Road that leads to a parking area and trail entrance.

Short days this time of year.

Just a couple minutes into the woods, a fairly decent sized pond is found.

Circled around the snow covered pond on my way towards the Mohawk.

Draped in sunshine, I followed a less substantial foot path along the top of the bluffs above the Mohawk.

Down by the Mohawk River, which was partially frozen over, looking south.

Looking north, upstream on the Mohawk.

A fun little area to explore in the woods of Clifton Park.  Only covered about 8/10 of a mile, but packed a lot of punch.  

Felt good to get out for bit, albeit briefly.  Happy Holidays everyone.
