Kayaderosseras Creek Preserve
This preserve contains public recreational and fishing access to the Kayaderosseras Creek via a trail system. Parking is currently roadside only. Several trails wind around the embankment totaling approximately 1 mile, but this is not a hiking preserve, it offers more of a leisurely walk among diverse flora along the creekside. The Friends of the Kayaderosseras are developing a canoe kayak launch just upstream on the Boice Property.
This property is a protected 1,220 feet of Creek frontage and about 2.5 acres of important riparian wetlands which contribute to the Creek's important cold-water fishery. Many species of flora and fauna are documented on this property which is largely forested with successional soft and hardwoods. Older hemlocks line the creekside. |

Directions:
From I-87 (aka The Northway) north and south: Get off at Exit 14 and take a right off ramp onto Union Ave (aka Route 9P) and head toward the City of Saratoga Springs. Drive 1.5 miles on Union Ave (30 mph speed limit - watch out for horses crossing) and take a right onto Circular Street at the T intersection. Drive one block and take a left onto Spring Street at the light. Drive past Congress Park on your left (watch out for pedestrians) and take a right onto Broadway. Careful here: Immediately get into left lane and take first left onto State Hwy 29 / Washington St. After about seven miles, you’ll reach the hamlet of Rock City Falls. Turn left onto Rock City Rd / County Route 49 and follow this road south approx. 2.5 miles. At the fork in the road, stay to the right. At the fork the road becomes West Milton Road (but is still County Route 49). Go over the bridge, and approx. 200 yards ahead look for a blue mail box on the right. Pull off the road just before or after this mailbox (the mailbox is for 220 West Milton Road). If you pass a 90 degree turn in the road and a trailer park on your left, then you've gone too far. The preserve entrance is on the opposite (left) side of the road and is to the right of the grey cape house and garage.
