Mianus River Gorge, Natural landmark preserve in Bedford, United States
The Mianus River flows through a 935-acre nature preserve featuring high cliffs, ancient hemlocks, and diverse geological formations along the riverbanks.
The Nature Conservancy initiated its first land preservation project in 1954 by acquiring 60 acres of the Mianus River Gorge with a pledge of 7,500 dollars.
Scientists conduct research programs in the preserve to study invasive species control, deer population management, and preservation of native plant communities.
Visitors can explore three miles of marked trails within the preserve between April and November, accessing the site through the entrance at Mianus River Road.
The gorge contains the Hobby Hill pegmatite quarry, where 18th-century mining operations revealed deposits of mica, feldspar, and quartz minerals.
