Christman Sanctuary
Consider Visting Christman Sanctuary.
If your heading out towards Delanson on a nice weekday afternoon, consider visiting the Christman Sanctuary, a popular Nature Conservancy property almost on the Schoharie County line. I don’t recommend visiting it on the weekend, due to the popularity and limited parking.
It starts on a boardwalk back into the woods.
The hike back there is unremarkable, until you get close to the falls where the trail reaches close to the Upper Falls.
The Upper Falls are quite nice but can be crowded on a nice weekday.
That said, solitude can be found a little ways down at the Middle and Lower Falls.

Small Falls in Bozenkill
Spring Time Hike to Some Local Preserves.
Last spring, I took off a day from work to spend some time hiking and exploring some nearby preserves. I started out the day visiting the newly opened Bozen Kill Preserve.
A quiet but nice preserve, with a small creek — the Bozen Kill — and a trail that looks out over the gorge.
There is a natural rock cut at the end of the trail, that reminds me bit of Zoar Valley.
Later on in the day, I visited the Christman Sanctuary, which is farther up on the Bozen Kill near the Knox – Delanson town line.
Not a torrent of water coming over the falls, but still a nice day.
It was relaxing to just sit down by the falls and enjoy the scenic beauty on this beautiful spring day.
