Hudson valley

Did some short walks with Benny this afternoon south of Albany and along the Hudson river. First stop was at Long View Park (Bronk farmstead) in New Baltimore. This is a relatively new preserve. Parked near the red barn on River Road. Followed the farm path (mowed path) through a meadow, the access road, and then the quarry trail down to the Hudson.

Drove a bit south and stopped at Four Mile Point Preserve. Walked all the short trails here: marsh viewing platform, river overlook, and down to a picnic area by the river.

Last stop was at Vosburgh Swamp WMA. Parked at the trailhead and followed the entrance trail and then a trail that paralleled the marsh. There were canoes stashed in a couple of places.

Altogether, walked over 2 miles on easy trails. Benny got lots of ticks though! Uggh!
