Alford Springs

The Alford Springs Preserve is 632 Acres of Taconic Ridgeline, located on the border between Alford, Massachusetts and Columbia County, New York. Alford Springs is one of BNRC's newest properties and as yet is without a trailhead or official trail system. However, there are a few old woods roads that can be followed.  This wood road network offers stunning views of Tom Ball Mountain and the Alford Valley.  On the east leg of the loop visitors can find multiple old cellar holes.
