You'll find Rensselaerville Falls in the southern part of the Huyck Preserve. They are about 120 feet high. You'll usually only see two of the three steps of the waterfall from one of the viewing areas.

You'll hike past limestone cliffs and rock-strewn slopes stretching over six miles. You'll always have great panoramic views of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains.

French's Hollow Falls are a hidden gem in Albany County. The picturesque upper and lower falls are situated underneath an old railroad bridge. If you are lucky, a train may pass by while you admire the falls.

The Albany Pine Bush is one of the best remaining examples of an inland Pine Barren. In the gently rolling sandy plain, you can discover a unique variety of rare plants and animals. Among them is the endangered Karner blue butterfly.
