Neversink Preserve, Protected natural area in Sullivan County, New York, United States.
The Neversink Preserve is a large protected natural area in Sullivan County that safeguards the Neversink River and its surrounding landscape. It contains forests along the riverbanks, wetland areas, and habitat for numerous animal species.
The Nature Conservancy founded this preserve in 1993 to protect the river ecosystem and the natural environment of the region. Restoration efforts have continued since its establishment to strengthen the health of the landscape.
The Neversink River holds special meaning for fly-fishing enthusiasts who travel here to practice techniques refined over generations. The waterway and surrounding forests remain central to how local and visiting anglers connect with the landscape.
The preserve is free to visit from sunrise to sunset and offers marked hiking trails with parking areas located throughout the grounds. Wearing sturdy footwear is recommended, especially in the wetter sections where the terrain can be muddy.
The removal of the Cuddebackville Dam in 2004 reopened migration routes for fish that had been blocked for more than 200 years. This restoration was a turning point that allowed fish populations to return to the river system.
