Spring Walk: Fisher Trail, Slingerlands

Fisher Trail is named for the fisher, a member of the weasel family found at Five Rivers, and for Fisher Blvd. It is ADA accessible to people with mobility disabilities and runs 0.66 mile from Fisher Blvd. to a viewing platform overlooking the Phillipinkill. Avid hikers can continue down a fairly steep trail into the ravine of the Phillipinkill and on to the Five Rivers Wild Turkey Trail. Join Ken Crosby, local nature photographer and land steward, on this walk to see and discuss some of the interesting aspects of established woodland, wetland, and fields. Directions: The kiosk where we will meet is at 47 Fisher Boulevard, Slingerlands, on the west side of the road. Fisher Blvd. runs between New Scotland Rd. (Rt. 85) and Delaware Ave. (Rt. 443) on the western edge of Slingerlands; the kiosk is not far from the northern (New Scotland) end. Please park efficiently. If needed, roadside parking the left of the parking lot is possible. Please note: Dogs are not allowed on the trail.
