Picturesque and stunning, Mianus River Gorge Preserve with its rare growth forest can be inspirational. Founded in 1953, the Mianus River Gorge Conservation Committee was dedicated to preserving “the virgin forest and abundant wildlife along the Mianus River in Bedford, New Castle and Pound Ridge.” Mianus River Gorge Preserve was the first natural area to be designated a National Natural Historic Landmark. More than 70 transactions have increased the preserve to its present size, which is 719 acres. The trails are well marked, and consist of some ascents and descents.

Comfortable boots are highly recommended.
