Mohonk Preserve
Mohonk Preserve, located just 90 miles outside of New York City, is New York’s largest nonprofit nature preserve. Founded in 1962, Mohonk Preserve has long been revered as a place of recreation, reflection and restoration. The preserve protects and manages over 8,000 acres of forests, mountains, fields, streams and ponds.
At the preserve, you can enjoy a variety of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and rock climbing. The Mohonk Preserve is regarded as one of the top hiking and climbing destinations in North America.
Through Mohonk Preserve, you can embark on a 4.5-mile hike to Mohonk Mountain House and to the Sky Top Tower. Going through Mohonk Preserve is also a popular way to hike the Labyrinth and Lemon Squeeze trail. One of the most popular activities at the preserve is rock climbing. While hiking through, you’ll often hear voices from above of rock climbers taking on the rock walls.
