The Thomas & Palmer Brook Reserve, located on Route 23, offers visitors with two different experiences. One experience is an easy half-mile walk around the wetland along an accessible trail with distant views to the Taconics in the west. This loop is popular among birders as the area is filled with birds singing from the abundance of wildflowers. The second experience is a woodland hike that departs mid-way through the wetland loop and heads up to Whale Rock.
