Take a stroll along our 2-1/2-mile Bluebird Trail, so named because of our efforts to help restore populations of New York's state bird. The Power Authority has been recognized by the Wildlife Habitat Council, a national conservation group, for its work with the Schoharie County Bluebird Society.
In winter, enjoy cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on our trails. The Bluebird Trail traverses a rolling hillside between our Visitors Center and nearby Mine Kill State Park, built by the Power Authority and operated by the Saratoga-Capital District Region of the State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Its 650 acres include three swimming pools and facilities for softball, basketball, volleyball and horseshoes. Picnic grounds and hiking trails let you commune with nature. The fishing season here runs from April through September.
