Preston Nature Preserve is open from August 15 to April 15

Trail Description

Preston Nature Preserve is located on the south side of Krug Road.
Pulling in through the gate, you are welcomed to a grassy area that has ample parking.  The trails are not color-marked, but are clearly evident. There is a bench atop a small hill near the parking area, and another down by the old ice pond, allowing for areas of rest for taking in the beauty of nature.  Stone walls are interspersed throughout the preserve, adding historical aesthetics.  Note that there is barbed wire along the stone walls; therefore, it is not recommended to get close to the stone walls.  Also included on this preserve is a significant swamp.  Expect those portions of the trail to be wet at times of heavy rain or snow.  There is a new bridge in the swamp which helps, but we recommend a good pair of boots for these portions during wet weather. It dries out to “merely boggy” during the summer dry season. The trail can be as narrow as 2 feet at times or wide open in the grass meadows.  Total trail distance is approximately 2 miles with elevation changes of 102 feet.  The trails are pet friendly for dogs on a leash.
