Mohonk Preserve
Mohonk Preserve, one of the Best Day Trips from New York City, is 8,000 acres of forests, cliffs, ponds, and streams that are great for trail running, rock climbing, cycling, and other activities. Mohonk Preserve, located in Ulster County around 90 miles north of New York City, is a true naturalist's haven that, unlike most other hiking areas, also offers horseback riding options along dedicated carriage lanes that ensure less foot traffic than other attractions. To make the most of your day, get an early start.
More than 18,000 members have donated money, ensuring the Mohonk Preserve's viability for future generations. In addition to supporting the preservation of the Shawangunk Mountains, membership offers other advantages.
