Galway Nature Preserve

formerly known as the DesRoches Project

DIRECTIONS:

Directions to DesRoches Nature Preserve, 2519 Crane Road, Town of Galway, New York from I 87

 

From I-87 (aka The Northway) north and south: Get off at Exit 13.  Take Route 9 south (If you are coming from 87 south, then take a left off the ramp; if you are coming from 87 north, then take a right). 

 

Once you are on Route 9, take your first right onto Malta Ave / Route 63. 

 

Drive about one mile and take a right onto Northline Rd / Route 45.  Stay on Northline Rd. for about 8.5 miles. 

 

After passing Armer Rd. and Bliss Roads, turn left onto Jockey Street / 52 South and Drive 1.3 miles.

 

Take your second right onto Crane Rd and drive .6 miles.  The property is on the right side of the road (property starts when you see a large pond on your right) and you can park when you see McConchie Road on your left.  You can either park on McConchie or turn around and part on Crane Street along the side of the farm field. 

 

If you reach a 90 degree bend in Crane Rd, you’ve gone too far.  The property address is: 2519 Crane Road, Galway, but the property is not marked with this address.  You will also know the DesRoches Nature Preserve from the road by seeing the remains of a driveway trees and debris from the recent house demolition.  There is also a garage on the property.

 

Note:  If you use the internet for directions, be aware that these directions can have errors.  And in this case, Crane Road has twists and turns within the town (and may even continue into Charlton).  As an added complication, maps from different sources cite either “Crane Road” or “Crane Street.”
