Directions:
Take the Northway (I-87) to Exit 16. Turn west on Ballard road. After 2 miles, cross Route 9, then turn left (south) on Parkhurst Road. Go one more mile to the preserve parking lot on the left. The trailhead is just beyond the public parking lot.
Orra Phelps was a teacher, doctor of medicine, naval veteran of WWII, environmentalist, naturalist, mountain climber, 50-year member of the Adirondack Mountain Club, and author. Approximately 30 of the 40 species of ferns found in New York State can be spotted among the preserve’s flora.
From the trailhead, walk until you hear a woodpecker. Take a left towards the sound. You will know you are in the right place if you see some candy wrappers on the ground next to a tuft of ferns. Walk until mosquitoes attack you and then turn left and look for a place to cross the river. Go in the same direction as the squirrel with the nut in its mouth. When you hear someone calling their dog, look for a large, leaning white birch tree. Just before the tree, look to the right for a bench. From the bench, head towards the ravine and look in the end of that large fallen tree. Don’t slip!
