There are many special places in the Preserve to be found and "discovered" as your own "best" place. Some are best for the view, others for the solitude and still others for the chance of seeing wildlife there regularly. Have fun finding your places to enjoy all that the Pine Bush has to offer.
The Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center will be closing to the public on August 20, 2025 at noon. Trails will remain open and outdoor restrooms will remain open until 4 pm.
