Palmer Road Preserve(Town of Schodack, Rensselaer County)

Did a short, local walk in Schodack this afternoon at the 57 acre Palmer Road Preserve, which is now owned and managed by the Rensselaer Land Trust.  Parked at the end of Thoroughbred Drive and set out under clearing skies and temps hovering around freezing, with about an inch of crunchy snow on the ground.

Explored various official and unofficial trails through the quiet woods. 

The highlight of the preserve is an unnamed tributary of the Moordener Kill, which flows through the woods here.  With our recent cold snap, it was looking very wintry today.

Walked a nice and easy 1.5 miles total.  Felt good to get out and shake off some cabin fever.

  1. Glad to see there is a sign there. Will take a stroll there soon. Always worried about parking some place I should not. Thanks for the update.

    1. Yeah, I agree on the parking situation. There's still no designated parking area but I did my best not to block any mailboxes/ driveways/ or the roadway. Nice to see improved signage as well as trail markers.
