The Cohotate Preserve has Hudson River frontage and is open to the public to enjoy. The Cohotate Preserve is open year-round for hiking, snowshoeing, and plant and wildlife viewing. Trails include interpretive signs to inform you about birds, wildlife, and forest habitats. Bring your sense of curiosity, as you picnic on the remains of an ice house foundation at the river's edge. Watch for bald eagles and great blue herons from one of the preserve's several observation platforms.
