Got out for a nice and easy walk at the 100 acre Indian Kill Nature Preserve this morning on yet another overcast, murky morning. Parked at the trailhead along Hetcheltown Road in East Glenville and headed out, following the red trail down towards the Indian Kill and dam, which is one of the most scenic spots in the preserve.
With the abundance of wet weather, the wildflowers seem to be doing well.
As expected, trails were damp and quite muddy in spots.
The Indian Kill was flowing swiftly, but I actually thought it might be even higher after the recent heavy rains.
The blue and red trails both closely hug the water's edge, making for a very enjoyable walk.
There are a series of three falls that can be found along this stretch of the Indian Kill but only one actually sits within the confines of the Preserve. Unfortunately, due to the recent wet weather, I was unable to cross the creek to access the trails on the other side of the Indian Kill.
As mentioned above, the woods were quite damp and with the high humidity levels to boot, it felt more like the Amazon then Schenectady County.
Enjoyed the blue, red and yellow trails as well as a couple of unmaintained foot paths for a total of about 2.5 miles and only saw one other person all morning.
Yay! My backyard.
