Borden's Pond Conservation Area(Chatham)

Took a short walk at the Columbia Land Conservancy's 62 acre Borden's Pond Conservation Area, located just east of the village of Chatham off of Route 203.   Signage marks the turn and a short gravel driveway brings you to the parking lot.  The sun was shining bright and the biting winds were making the mid 40's temperatures feel much more brisk.  This was EXACTLY what I needed after a long day at work.

Quiet woods.  I didn't see another soul the entire walk, making for a peaceful visit with mother nature.

 A Columbia Land Conservancy tool shed, just off the green trail.

 Although the sun was shining bright, there was certainly a nip in the air.

 

There are several benches throughout the woods that make for pleasant places to relax.  I really took my time strolling along, soaking in the sounds of crunching leaves underfoot, and the sweet smell of autumn in the air.

While there were no long distant vistas today, it was a perfect woodland walk on a perfect fall afternoon.  Just what the doctor ordered.  About 1.5 miles total.
