Mohonk Preserve

The Mohonk Preserve extends across 7,500 acres of forests, fields, streams, and lakes along the northern Shawangunk Ridge in New York State.

Established in 1963, this protected area has grown into New York State's largest nonprofit nature preserve, safeguarding the land from urban development.

The preserve maintains 70 miles of carriage roads and trails while supporting research projects focused on environmental education and natural resource protection.

Visitors can access the preserve through the main office at 3197 Route 44/55 in Gardiner, where they obtain maps, permits, and information about activities.

The preserve contains cliffs that serve as nesting grounds for peregrine falcons and supports populations of black bears, bald eagles, and porcupines.
