Spring Walk: Winn Preserve, Knox

This is a beautiful wooded preserve with low to medium-effort trails that wind through ferns and shady forests. Limestone fissures, rock outcroppings, and cliffs demonstrate the limestone karst geology of the Helderberg Escarpment. Leader: Debra Barnes. Directions: From Altamont, follow Rt. 146 (NOT Rt. 156), which turns north onto Maple Ave. in the village, then turns west in one block and proceeds approximately 4 miles to a Y intersection just past Township Tavern. Take the far left fork of the Y intersection onto Street Rd., and proceed past the Knox Transfer Station to the kiosk and parking area on the left.
