Old Field Preserve was created in July 2003 and is owned jointly by the Town and Westchester…read moreCounty, with a conservation easement held by New York State. It is the culmination of many years of effort and cooperation among private citizens, local conservation groups including the Lewisboro Land Trust, and the state, county and town governments. The parcel was originally part of Van Cortlandt Manor, a 86,000-acre tract that ran from the Hudson River to Connecticut. The area was settled in 1776 by Enoch Mead, whose descendants farmed the land until 1974 when it was sold. From 1974-2003, the 100-acre parcel was enjoyed by riders, walkers, cross-country skiers and hunters. In 2003, the town, county, and state bought the parcel with extensive financial assistance from local residents. Over 100 species of wildlife have been observed on the preserve, and it provides increasingly rare old field/meadow habitat for field-dependent species. The trails are open for hiking and horseback riding. Highlights Five fields in various stages of succession, with wildflowers and birds, dogwood blooms in May, highbush blueberries turn color in fall, woods, wetlands, watercourses, and old stone walls, the remnants of an old orchard, magnificent view from the FAA tower (trail leading to tower is somewhat steep), connection to Town Park and Ward Pound Ridge Reservation (see map). Directions Take Rte. 35 to Mead Street. Turn onto Mead, the preserve is located .5 mi. on the right at the intersection of Schoolhouse Road. Park up the lane at the kiosk.

Often used by recreational fishermen, it is a short, mostly straight trail that runs along the Titicus River for about a sixth of a mile and ends at a low stone wall. The North Salem Fish and Game Association stock the river with trout. Steward: Josh Leicht Trail Notes The trail is level, the ground is soft, and there is ample shade from many trees, making for an easy walk. During a walk, the sounds of the river are always audible. Along the path are barberry, ferns and occasionally skunk cabbage, depending on the season you visit. Lances is a trail that one would walk to get a feel for the nature in North Salem without going too far from "civilization". Dog Walking Policy To ensure the well being of environmentally sensitive plants and animals, the ecology of water resources, as well as protecting the pristine and safe conditions for all visitors to our properties, dogs must be leashed and under the control of their owners at all times on all preserves.
