Great Flats Nature Trail, Nature trail in Rotterdam, New York.
The Great Flats Nature Trail extends through wetlands and forests, offering 4 miles of pathways alongside the Mohawk River aquifer system.
In 1661, Dutch settlers led by Van Curler obtained permission from Peter Stuyvesant to purchase the land known as Groote Vlachte from Mohawk people.
The trail serves as an educational resource where visitors learn about wetland ecosystems through interpretive signs explaining local flora and fauna.
The trail system maintains several designated parking areas near the trailhead on West Campbell Road, with maps available for navigation.
The preserved wetland supplies 54 million gallons of water daily through public wells installed in 1897, supporting regional water needs.
