Lisha Kill Preserve(Niskayuna, Schenectady County)

Did a short after dinner walk at the Nature Conservancy's Lisha Kill Preserve on a breezy, humid summer evening.  The muggy weather must've kept people away because there was only one other person out walking their dog while I was there.

The trails quickly drop down into a ravine, where the Fly Kill, a small tributary stream runs through.
The trails are very pleasant and well marked, passing through old growth forests, where some trees are over 200 years old.  I followed the red trail over to the yellow blazed "Frank's Trail", before returning to the red marked "Grattan Family Trail", which eventually drops down to the Lisha Kill.
The Lisha Kill was a lovely sight on this humid summer evening.  I did see someone with their dog splashing around in the water, enjoying the cool creek just upstream from this photo.
Took all three trails at the preserve for a total of about 2.1 miles, and worked up a decent sweat in the process.  Woods were a little buggy, but not too bad.
