Beaver Bend Preserve

   

Description:  This preserve is small but mighty! Get to know this 0.4-mile loop trail near Essex, New York. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 9 min to complete. Go for a short walk on a trail through a riparian forest. You’ll come along a field along the Boquet River and discover why this preserve is appropriately named “Beaver Bend”! From there, you’ll loop back around and finish the trail. This is an excellent spot for bird-watching.
