Parks and natural areas in Schoharie County have a way of putting things in perspective. Old growth forests that have been standing for centuries, a gorge carved by water and time, open meadows alive with birds and wildflowers, and ridgelines that remind you how big the sky really is. Whether you are looking for a quiet place to sit or a full day of exploration, the natural areas here have room for all of it. This is land that has been cared for and loved for generations, and it shows.
From state parks to nature preserves, Schoharie County's natural areas are as diverse as they are beautiful.
