Chaumont Barrens Preserve - Watertown New York Hikes

An easy self-guiding loop examines the mystery and beauty of this globally significant habitat. Special Attractions: limestone bedrock fissures, marine fossils, rare native grasslands, rubbly moss gardens, shrub savannas, spring and autumn wildflowers, bird watching. Keep to the trail, using stepping stones where available, and beware of cracks, fissures, and hidden holes. Leave pets at home, and obey the Nature Conservancy's (TNC's) rules and closures that protect this fragile treasure. Summer temperatures may reach extreme highs, so carry water.
