24. Mohawk River Nature Preserve š»š
end of Whitmyer Drive, Niskayuna, NY 12309
Formerly known as Mohawk River State Park and Schenectady Museum Nature Preserve.
The 7-mile trail system was confusing, and I failed to locate the overlook for the river. š
All is not lost ā some highlights š:
ā¢ daddy longlegs š·ļø (photo #6)
ā¢ camouflaged brown toad šø (photo #24)
ā¢ pollinator habitat š»
ā¢ shrooms! š
Personal Navigation Note š§:
On the Whitmyer-Shaker Gorge Trail from the north-side trailhead, exit the woods briefly to access a paved road, take a right and cross the stream, and then take a quick left back into woods. See photos #13 to 15.
