The Plotter Kill Preserve

A beautiful little trail. We walked this trail with our 3 and 7 year old. They really enjoyed seeing the waterfalls. It was quite muddy through one half of the walk so beware.

The Plotter Kill Preserve is a nice place to take a hike in the Capital Region. The trails are maintained and easy to follow. Fencing can be found near the areas where there is a risk of a fall. There is a great deal of signage on the trails to direct you where to go. The views of the waterfalls are very good. There are nice viewing platforms to get a glimpse of the different waterfalls. A few trails run parallel to the stream and these are very nice. The trails are well shaded and this is a good place to go when it is warmer. There are some steep spots on the trails, so you have to watch your footing. Cell service in the area is good. At the parking areas they ask you to take a picture of the trail map for safety. It would be good if they offered paper trail maps or you could download them to your phone. Definitely, a hidden gem in the area. If youre up for a nice hike to catch a glimpse of some nice waterfalls this hike is for you.

What a beautiful park! The waterfall was amazing and only a few minutes in. Only small patches of snow left, but you could see some ice around the waterfall in a few places. So pretty!
