Alplaus Kill Preserve

The Alplaus Kill Preserve boasts a scenic trail that meanders through the open field and into the woodlands of the 54-acre property. The woods are home to many deer and the open fields are a popular hunting ground for red-tailed hawks, who prey on the abundant mice, voles, and rabbits. Eagles, osprey, and great blue heron are often spotted as they head to the stream for fish. The trail continues along the banks of the Alplaus Kill, where lucky visitors might spot a beaver, mink, or river otter as they occasionally traverse the stream. In the right conditions, paddlers heading up from the Mohawk River can easily access the preserve from the banks of the Alplaus Kill.

‍

The preserve is located at 218 Alplaus Ave, East Glenville. The parking area and kiosk will be installed soon. In the meantime, you can park in the field adjacent to the driveway. See our Trail Conditions page for updates and a parking map.
