January 16, 2021LOADED with TICKS!!! Open but definite low swamped out areas so quite muddy!!! Glenville’s range very close by so gunfire possible.
December 31, 2020Checked out the waterfall this morning and it was freezing over nicely. Enough water was still going over the edge to produce a good echo in the deep ravine. Finished up by doing the small loop from Pt. B to Pt. C. Trail was half ice, half clear. Microspikes were a big help on the icy parts and going down the steep slope to the waterfall. Beautiful morning to be out in the woods.

December 28, 2020Enjoyed it on the a nice afternoon. Nano spikes and poles helped a lot
December 16, 2020Cold but wonderful
November 28, 2020Muddy & gunshots
November 22, 2020I LOVE trail running at Sanders Preserve, but be aware during hunting season. I encountered many hunters on my last visit. Wear bright clothing or pick another trail if it makes you uncomfortable. Not really sure why they allow hunting considering the presence hiking trails and close proximity to homes.
November 21, 2020November 14, 2020November 9, 2020Nice easy trail. Well groomed and marked
October 25, 2020Beautiful as ever.
October 24, 2020Trail had lots of rocks and tree roots but still enjoyed it. Well until we got home with our 3 dogs.They are loaded with little ticks. Baths here we come so just beware. Husband had some on him too
October 24, 2020October 23, 2020There are signs posted that hunting is allowed with a permit there was no designation listed. That made us a little uncomfortable. We decided to try it anyway. About 1/2 a mile in we started hearing gunshots so we turned around. It’s beautiful otherwise.
October 10, 2020October 7, 2020Good. Rooty and rocky at points, but a scenic and very enjoyable trail. The trails are clearly labeled with either color coding or letters, but there are no reliable trail maps at the trailhead or on the trails. Great place for walking the dog!
September 19, 2020Dryest time of year so I shot for and succeeded in covering every foot of trail. I tried to repeat steps as little as possible but it was necessary to double back several times
September 17, 2020Lots to explore. Easy terrain
September 12, 2020September 6, 2020September 6, 2020The loop section needs a little work
August 29, 2020Started down pouring while hiking. Overall a nice hike, easy to identify the trails. Would totally do it a day it doesn’t rain.
August 22, 2020Good conditions generally. Trails need to be better marked in some areas (e.g. between points R and H).
August 16, 2020Nice trail for a walk. Not a whole lot to look at. The train was quite overgrown and muddy in some spots.
August 13, 2020Great walk, could have brought my blind dog too trails are well labeled and funny how the different trees are marked too for educational purposes waterfalls were beautiful but the big ones are harder to get to but just follow the deer trails good experience
