    Hiking

    From Berkshire Hiking,

    The hike at Hollenbeck is more a peaceful trek through flat open field than a power hike up and down hills. In the summer, wildflowers are in abundance with birds and insects flourishing with the benefits of the seemingly endless food source. If you hike at dusk or dawn, it's likely you'll see deer, turkey, and quite possibly fox or coyote. At face value the preserve looks like an old farm that has just overgrown with tall grass and various plant life. But if you look closely and really checkout the micro-environment in and beneath the tall grasses, you'll see an extremely active community of birds and insects.

    Hollenbeck offers year round hiking and the difference between cold weather and summer is quite apparent here. In the summer, you'll walk right through tall grass and other plant life up to your hips. In winter, it's stark here with all signs of life nearly gone. Both seasons offer unique experiences but obviously summer will provide a more spectacular viewing experience.

    History

    The Nature Conservancy purchased this scenic and biologically rich property in 1995 in a bargain sale.
