Dyken Pond Environmental Center

Very nicely maintained trails for hiking, snowshoes, and xc skiing. Great environmental education programs for kids, too! Not a lot of wildlife, but still very pretty!

Trails were well marked. Family friendly. Had a great time with my husband and 4 year old! They had a nice book walk for the kids. The water looked so clear and beautiful! We will be back to rent canoes and/or kayak (and maybe even snow shoes!) after Covid. Oh, and very nice bathroom facilities!

Absolutely beautiful land!
Clean outhouse and fresh drinking water available.
Heads up though there is a 2 mile drive way into the environmental center that could use some work. Do not suggest taking anything smaller than an suv.
Otherwise 10/10 recommend!

Great place for hikes and nature walks

Dyken Pond is a special place to visit and explore any time of the year. I've been kayaking on the pond in the summer and this year joined in a walk in the winter. A very peaceful place to explore and they offer programs throughout the year.

Great place to enjoy Mother Nature all year long!!!

Beautiful trails for the family

Such a beautiful network of trails for XC skiing. A great place for enjoying snow shoeing as well. Great place to enjoy the outdoors. I am so glad I found this gem, can't wait to explore it in the other seasons.

Lovely hiking trails. Very excited when we stumbled across a porcupine. Also red squirrel,and a deer Beautiful fourna throughout .I especially liked the Mary Mcfalls trail and Grandfather Rock. Will be heading there again exploring more trails,as this will be a regular spot for me.💖😁

A hidden gem on the Rensselaer plateau very close to the more popular Grafton State Park. This place is perfect if you want to experience nature! They have trails where you can get to see a large variety of animals from moose to bear (if you are lucky)! The gravel road to the center is quite rough, so be sure you drive slow. No hunting is allowed but you can take your non-motor boats to the pond for fishing. A must visit place if you want to get away from hustle and bustle and spend some amazing time with nature.

Such a diverse and beautiful park

Google maps got me there. I enjoyed the sight seeing in the country ☺. Break from the city way of life !! Lol peace and serenity out here. Foliage is really nice to look at this fall

Great hikes here. Not too difficult. Lots of interesting flora, especially mushrooms, lichen. Wonderful photo opps! And it's free!

Great local resource! Well maintained nature trails and education center. Free to the public. Enjoyable hiking, fishing and canoeing location.

Wonderful place for walking in the woods, birding. Met some folks going ice fishing, others snow shoeing. Great day for being outdoors!

Very quiet secluded beautiful place. Abundant wildlife. Keep your eyes open for moose ,deer and an occasional bear.
