Review:
This 161-acre nature preserve is located in the town of Saugerties. Hugging a curve in the Esopus Creek, the Esopus Bend Nature Preserve was mainly used for agricultural projects 40 years ago. It has since been turned into a protected ecosystem that is home to turkeys, deer, toads, dragonflies and even eagles at different times of the year.
The unique plants at the preserve are a testament to the environmental diversity of the area. Also used for recreational purposes, the Esopus Bend Nature Preserve has a wealth of hiking trails. Guests can canoe or kayak on the water or spend an afternoon wildlife watching. The preserve is open to the public from dawn to dusk each day.
