Spring Walk: Dwaas Kill Preserve

A dynamic and very beautiful area in Clifton Park recently opened as a preserve. Some of us will explore the creek and ephemerals in the fairly even east side of the preserve, while hikers may want to head west to the terrific Far Outlook, which has a very well marked, one-direction trail that can get rugged. The preserve is largely bog, and even the trails may get a bit wet. Leader: Steve Jones. Directions: From Rt. 146A one can turn right (east) onto Kinns Rd., and in two miles left (north) onto Pierce Rd. The parking area is on the road, to the left, opposite Mazzone Hosptiality, 743 Pierce Rd. From Rt. 87 take exit 10, Ushers Rd., and almost immediately turn left onto Pierce Rd.
