The Mohonk Preserve is a large nature preserve with 8,000 acres of
forests, cliffs, and streams to explore. The preserve contains more than 40
miles of trails and over 70 miles of carriage roads that are available for
multi-purpose use. The trails are perfect for hiking, trail running, cycling,
Nordic skiing, horseback riding and more.
Mohonk is home to the Shawangunks (the Gunks, for short) climbing area,
which is one of the most popular climbing destinations in America and has
climbs of varying difficulties. The visitors’ center offers valuable
information for enjoying the preserve as well as a butterfly garden and
exhibits geared toward adults and children alike.
