Trails and Recreation
Pitney Meadows Community Farms' 166 acres encompass farm fields, forests, wetlands, springs and Geyser Creek access. A initial trail plan was designed to promote access for recreation on the farm. It currently includes trails for walking, biking, birding, and exploring. Future designs are underway to incorporate educational signage designating points of interest and wildlife viewing opportunities. The trail system is designed to connect to and incorporate the Saratoga Greenbelt Trail connecting the western neighborhoods to the Railroad Run trail, downtown Saratoga Springs and the State Park. The trails will also emphasize the farming projects at the Farm.
We currently have walking trail loops completed around our agriculture fields and adjacent to West Avenue. The smaller loop is approximately 0.5 miles, while the larger loop stretches 1.7 miles.
In 2021, our trails were dedicated in honor of Michael J. Pitney, an outdoor enthusiast whose love for nature continues to inspire those who explore the trails at Pitney Meadows. A kiosk was constructed in his honor, complete with a map of the farm complex and trails, and a place to sit and take in the sights and sounds of the farm.
