March 2,2022 Today My dog, Odin and I hiked at Wilderness Park in Deerfield NY! If you’ve never tried this park, you simply must!! We went here twice today…late AM and early PM… VERY NICE PLACE!! ….In AM we were the only ones there (obvious due to no other cars or footprints)…so peaceful and with the light snow falling…it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! Very well maintained , marked and groomed trails… We saw no wildlife except for birds… sorta mad i left my binoculars in my car as there was an odd couple of birds “singing” along the trailway!( I guess I m a bit of a curious birdwatcher) On our PM walk, there WERE other people there…but we never saw or heard them AT ALL! Such a nice park!! Big and quiet…lots of trails to explore! We had a wonderful walk and workout! Many thanks to whomever is responsible for the planning, care and upkeep of this park…JOB...

There were public restrooms and fields for games. All around it was a very nice park for all sorts...
