A Visit to the Great Flats Nature Trail in Late Summer

My recent exploration of the Plotter Kill Preserve and Indian Kill Nature Preserve in Schenectady, New York led me to the small, quiet, and very peaceful Great Flats Nature Trail.  Walking paths and boardwalks loop visitors throughout a protected wetland habitat, providing close access to flaura and fauna usually reserved for those lucky enough to be venturing in rain or “muck” boots.

A Summer Visit to the Indian Kill Nature Preserve

Nestled just a short drive outside of the city limits of Schenectady, New York, is the lovely Indian Kill Nature Preserve.  We got the chance to explore around on a beautiful sunny day.  There was a wonderful feeling to the place. Especially walking down around the creek edge, it felt simply… magical.
