For very mellow easy hiking through a mostly shaded gorge with beautiful rock outcroppings head to Sloan Gorge! It's only an 8 minute drive from the cottage and easy to do if you are low on time or don't want a super long hike. Park alongside the street and enter at the sign following the arrows which loop you through the preserve. This is a great one for families and not too challenging although a little bit of climbing is involved.

About 8 minutes away, Sloan Gorge is great if you want a nice, easy hike that's close. Nicely shaded and maintained.

The Woodstock Land Conservancy's Sloan Gorge Preserve opened to the public in June 2007. Located at the foot of Overlook Mountain on the Woodstock-Saugerties town line, the 88-acre Preserve is a treasure trove of mixed hardwood and coniferous forests, vernal pools, a seasonal stream, and bluestone quarries, and has the first interpretive “geology trail” in the area. It is home to bear, fox, deer, raccoon, possum, porcupines, and a wide variety of birds and woodland flora. Read more about Sloan Gorge in the article by Robert Titus in the Spring 2007 issue of Kaatskill Life. Visitors to the Sloan Gorge Preserve are greeted by two half-hip, pony-style trusses from a 24-foot-long bridge built by the King Bridge company owned by Allan Sloan’s wife’s family in 1887 located across Black Creek in the town of Byron, NY. The trusses were donated to the Woodstock Land Conservancy by the Sloan family. It is reputed to be one of the oldest wrought-iron bridges in New York State. The loop trail leads to a bluestone quarry that was active during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The trail then continues along a picturesque stream (which flows intermittently throughout the year) through a dramatic gorge with rock formations created during the Ice Age. The trail then winds back past vernal pools and through stands of hemlock, mountain laurel, and blueberry bushes. sloangorgetrailmap Enjoy a self-guided Geology Trail walk using our "Field Guide to the Geology fo the Sloan Gorge Preserve Nature Trail" by Robert Titus, PhD. The brochure will walk you through 9 stops in the preserve that will take you on a journey into our region's geologic history as an ancient river delta complex bigger than that of the Mississippi. The brochure is available at the Sloan Gorge trailhead kiosk. Directions to Sloan Gorge: The Sloan Gorge parking lot and trailhead is located at 487 Stoll Road, Saugerties, NY.

Renowned Woodstock artist Allan Edward Sloan donated this unique property — containing mixed forest, old bluestone quarries, and unusual geological features — to WLC in 1998, just prior to his death. The land is a wildlife haven and reflects the area’s natural and industrial history. Featuring an approximately one-mile looped and unique geological trail, it's a popular local spot for a quick walk/hike to get away!
