Hike Reviews

<p>My husband and i did this little hike on 3/11/16, near the end of a winter that was oddly warm and had very little precipitation of any kind. It was extremely hard to find the Preserve coming from the north (we wish your "find-a-hike" section included directions for people coming from north of Rockland or Putnam counties). Then when we got there, we found the blazes on the trails to be few and far between -- and confusing. (The "purple" blazes consist of a faint, washed-out pink on a white square, for example.) To make matters worse, the maps at the Nature Center are black-and-white and it's hard to read the legend for the blazes. Worst of all, when you can figure out the preserve's map, it doesn't match the NYNJTC map! We're glad we stopped at the nature center, though, because they told us that two of the bridges mentioned in your directions are washed out. Also, it was very muddy and even a bit buggy, despite this being early March!</p> <p>All in all, we were a bit disappointed.</p>
