Visit the Albany Pine Bush Preserve
The Albany Pine Bush Preserve is open 24/7 for you to explore! With 12 different trailheads and over 20 miles of trail there is much to discover here. Open pine barrens, rolling grasslands, ephemeral ponds, cool steep-sided ravines and forests are all part of the Pine Bush Preserve’s tapestry of habitats. Visit for a quiet nature walk or bring a bike and pedal the sandy trails. Trail maps are available at all 12 trailheads as well as on line at www.AlbanyPineBush.org and at the Discovery Center during our business hours.
