An energetic climb at this preserve takes you part way up a mountainside and through forests which are the habitat of abundant wildlife. The stand of pines and hemlocks reached by the blue trail probably grew up in a clearing left from the farm that was abandoned in the 1830s. A powerful wind storm in 2003 uprooted many of the specimen trees.

Finger Lakes Trail

The trail enters Masonville from NY 8 to the north and leaves along NY 206 to the west. This 10.7 mile section of the Finger Lakes Trail begins as the trail leaves dirt Getter Hill Road and enters the 617 acre Beales Pond State Forest.

Surrounded by many lesser peaks, it leads to the base of Bearpen Mountain, a Catskills High Peak. The route is mostly a gentle one with a few short steeper climbs. From SR 30 in Margaretville travel north to Denver-Vega Rd. (Rte. 36) at Kelly Corners. Turn east and look for a good place to park your car on the side of the road. At Vega Mountain Rd. continue straight on Sally’s Alley to its end. The ride one way is about 9.5 miles.

Denver Vega Road, Margaretville NY USA

Dry Brook Valley Trail

There a several good places to park a car along the route if you prefer a shorter ride, including a large one at the intersection of Todd Mountain Rd.

Very near Dry Brook Valley is Rider Hollow Rd. It’s a great short ride on its own at 2.1 miles one way (or 2.5 from the Todd Mountain Rd. parking area.) The two valley rides can easily be combined to create a route of almost 23 miles. Use Todd Mountain Rd. for the connection.

Alder Lake & Alder Lake Trail

Alder Lake to Balsam Lake Mountain Fire Tower is a 12.6 mile out and back trail located near Margaretville, New York that features a lake and is rated as difficult.
