Constitution Marsh Sanctuary - Cold Spring New York Hikes

The route we’ve chosen here takes in a nearby brook and waterfall, as well as Constitution Marsh Sanctuary. This National Audubon Society property has a nature trail, an Indian rock shelter, and an active marsh accessed by a boardwalk. The hike’s best feature, though, is its length: all of this neat stuff is crammed into 2 easy miles.
