Albany Pine Bush Preserve

Hotels near Albany Pine Bush Preserve, Albany (New York), United States .

One of the biggest draws about Albany is its lush, upstate New York nature. For visitors who've had their fill of museums and city life, there's no better place to go than The Albany Pine Bush Preserve. Located only a short drive from the bustle and hotels of downtown Albany, The Albany Pine Brush Preserve is one of the healthiest inland pine barrens ecosystems in the States, where a number of animals and plants thrive, including some very rare species.

The almost 4,000 acres of land that are protected allow city dwellers and visitors the chance to retreat easily to nature and know that it's going to stay there, well kept and waiting. In addition to the chance to just go for a hike in the woods, The Albany Pine Brush Preserve also has areas for hunting and fishing. For those planning on going for hikes or walks towards sunrise or later in the day, it's not uncommon to spot the occasional coyote.

While the Albany Pine Brush Preserve still stands today, a number of different construction and development groups have their eye on the area, which is in need of protection even to this day. The area's importance, not just as a respite from city life but as a piece of American history, cannot be overstated. Famous writers from Herman Melville to Vladimir Nabokov have written about Pine Brush Preserve, and George Washington even mentions it in his journals.
