Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy

Mosher Marsh

Ellie Peters donated this 43-acre preserve to MHLC in 2008. It consists largely of a natural wetland with several shallow man-made ponds to enhance wildlife habitat. A small stream, a tributary to the Chuctanunda Creek flows through the middle of the property. The site also contains a mix of fields and woods and an historic family cemetery. There is a loop trail with a 300 foot boardwalk that runs through the wetland.

Directions: From Rt 5 between Amsterdam and Schenectady take Truax Road. Truax Road becomes Manny's Corner Road after it crosses Rt 67. Parking for Mosher Marsh is on the left, 0.5 miles after intersection with Rt 67.

Difficulty: Flat, but wet in places.
