Angle Fly Preserve, Protected area in Somers, New York, United States
Description
Angle Fly Preserve is a protected area spanning 654 acres with multiple hiking trails winding through forests and across open meadows. The landscape includes streams, woodlands of various ages, and cleared areas that support native wildlife.
History
The land was granted in 1667 by King William III to Stephanus Van Cortlandt, the first American-born mayor of New York City. Over the following centuries, early settlers established farmsteads that shaped the land's character.
Culture
The preserve includes the Reynolds House from 1803 and remains of early American farmsteads along Primrose Street, forming part of the Mt. Zion Historic Neighborhood.
Practical
You can enter the preserve from Route 138 where parking is available near the main entrance. The marked trails allow you to explore the property at your own pace throughout the day.
Did you know?
Angle Fly Creek flowing through the preserve represents one of the last natural spawning grounds for brook trout in Westchester County. This population of native fish depends entirely on the creek's clean waters and specific conditions.
