2019 Road Trip – Hiking the Huyck Preserve – Rensselaerville, NY

Today Beth, her sister Lori, and I hiked the trail around Lake Myosotis in Rensselaerville, NY (Albany County) at the Hucyk Preserve. It was a beautiful day with low humidity and temperatures in the mid 70’s. There are dams at both the northern and southern ends of the lake. The dam at the southern end leads to a series of beautiful waterfalls. Lori brought along some delicious chicken sandwiches and we stopped at the top of the falls and enjoyed them along with the beautiful view. The hikes up and down the inclines next to the falls were fairly steep and by the time we finished our day we had 3.7 miles under our belts and were fairly whooped. We stopped at a Stewart’s Shop on the way home to to refuel with ice cream which we felt we had definitely earned.
