Confirmed from Angle Fly Preserve's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Peaceful nature preserve offering kid-friendly hikes with streams, a pond, and old estate remnants.
What runners say about Angle Fly Preserve
“Also beautiful derelict structures to look at!”
“Pretty and with well marked and well maintained trails.”
“Very peaceful and not a difficult hike.”
Great place for a hike, run and birding walk. Trails join with abutting NYSDEC land with more trails. Trails need better management on Somers Land Trust land. Hopefully after the maintenance house is complete SLT gets to work on clearing some of the better trails where I've found most of my wildlife sightings.
Very muddy with all the melting snow, which I expected. We took mostly the yellow trail. Features streams, stone walls, pond & remnants of an old estate which was off-trail. Very peaceful and not a difficult hike.
Beautiful spot with clearly marked trails. Makes for a great short or long hike through the woods.
This place is a hidden gem, I almost dont want to give a good review so it doesnt get too popular! I have hiked the trails literally hundreds of times.
Trail conditions & character
“Maps and trail markers could use some maintenance, but otherwise excellent hiking!”
“This would be a great place for dogs but that’s mostly because dogs are not allowed.”
“Excellent spot for trail running, not too crowded.”
“Be sure to watch out for tree roots hidden under leaves on the trail , and apply insect repellent with Deet - there are lots of ticks and deer keds at this time of year!”
