Hennig Preserve - Yellow Trail Loop

This loop includes both the Lower and Upper Yellow Trails. You can add distance by doing any of the smaller side trails. If you only want to do either the Upper or the Lower Yellow Trail, you will either need to make it and out & back or park a car at each end, otherwise the road walk on Centerline Road is 9/10th of a mile. The Hennig Preserve, located just outside of the Adirondack Park, is Saratoga PLAN’s largest nature preserve, boasting ~ 606 conserved acres of land with approximately 10 miles of trails riddled throughout. The Hennig Preserve was generously donated to Saratoga PLAN by the Hennig family in the fall of 2010. Bob Hennig, Penny Steffen, Barbara Hennig and the late Mally Sue Bleikamp Hennig lovingly cared for this land for over 50 years and accumulated the acreage that would become this preserve in many stages. Prior to their ownership, this land was used primarily for subsistence farming, logging, charcoal-making and maple syrup production, among other things. Saratoga PLAN manages the property as a natural area for native forest and wetland flora and fauna. It is open to the public for passive recreation such as hiking and walking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and nature study. A conservation easement placed in 2002 on the preserve, as well as on an additional 140 adjacent acres, prevents all other uses.
