Beaver Meadow Nature Center
While the nature center and rest rooms are currently closed for renovations,
our trails are open to you from sunrise to sunset.
Beaver Meadow is a 324-acre nature preserve in North Java, NY. It features ponds (including glacial kettle ponds), wetlands with a boardwalk trail, wooded uplands, meadows, a hawk watch, an arboretum, and eight miles of well-marked trails.
We love furry friends but ask that you kindly leave your dogs at home as they disturb the natural habitat.

Noteworthy:
- Most of our trails are low in elevation and difficulty.
- You are welcome to bring food and beverages to the property but ask that you please be respectful and pick up after yourself.
- If you're bringing children, be sure to visit our Nature Play Area, Storybook Trail, and Fairy House Lane.
Storybook Trail may be found near the Arboretum, and Field Sparrow Trail will take you there.
Fairy House Lane is also located near the Nature Center - just take Beaver Pond Trail to get there.
- Easier family trails include Chipmunk Run, Beaver Pond Trail, Old Homestead Trail, and Jenny Glen Boardwalk.
- Long Trail is our most challenging trail due to its elevation and length (1.5 miles).
- Old Woods Trail and Ghost Pond Trail are farther from the Nature Center, but worth the walk (or short drive) down Welch Road.
- For those with mobility concerns, we offer Jenny Glen Trail and Baby Fox Trail.
