Top Wildlife refuges in Poughkeepsie, United States

I enjoyed an afternoon here as I did once back in the 2010s. Relatively easy trails, but some roots & unstable boards. There will be mud!

I’m a student at Vassar College and I go here as often as I can, usually every two weeks or so when the weather’s nice. It’s often muddy and has lots of hills but it’s a gorgeous hike and I’ve seen a lot of cool animals around.

Great time ripping around on the bike trails. No cost to enjoy. I saw a lot of people tending to their gardens which was fun to watch.

Amazing farm, well-informed workers. Totally going organic, the tomatoes and sample produce was remarkable. What a difference in color and taste. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I walked away with a basket of produce to share with my coworkers.

Closed to the public because of COVID-19 concerns, be sure to visit when it's safe to do so.
This is an amazing preserved green space with excellent trails to walk and run. The experimental soil preservation area caught my attention, as well as the centuries old oak tree.

It was a great walk, beautiful surroundings, clean, friendly people on the path. I loved the labeled trees, can't wait to walk this trail again.

Great place to take a walk. Parking can be limited at times, but you can choose to walk on their regular path, bike , or even take a walk through the woods. They have it laid out so you can see the difficulty in the trails. Harder trails are labeled, pay attention if you struggle with going down hills or walking around exposed tree routes. Best part is seeing all the turtles in the pond!

This place is a must for those who love fresh fruits and vegetables. You can purchase a full or half share and that includes fresh cut greens and veggies as well as access to their fruit and vegetable gardens. $$$ but well worth it.
