Cold Spring Preserve

Highlight • Forest

The Cold Spring Preserve borders the southern grounds of The Clark Art Institute, a well known local art museum with an impressive collection of 19th-century French Impressionist and Academic paintings and beautiful grounds. This is a nice place to slow down as you ride to admire the views and look out for wildlife.

Hoosic River

Highlight • River

The beautiful Hoosic River runs through three states and is fed by streams from the Green Mountains of Vermont, the Taconics of New York and the lofty sides of Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts (3,491 ft.). Its meandering journey travels 70 miles from where it begins at the Cheshire Reservoir in Massachusetts, to where it eventually enters the Hudson River at Stillwater, NY.
