We recently took our grandkids to the Delaware Otsego Audubon Sanctuary and we had a blast - from the bog walk to scoping our Monarch butterfly eggs and caterpillars, we didn't run out of places to explore!

Robert V Riddell State Park

Reviewed By zodreb - New York City, United States

A nice walk along lots of fun trails with really nice views everywhere you went. Honestly it was never a dull moment here. Everywhere was pretty. I was quite shocked at that, I couldn't get over the fact that everywhere you looked it was actually interesting and different. Forest, paths, stream, fields, everything. It's almost like someone made it but I don't think this area was planned. It seemed like a lot of pretty stuff just happened to be near each other and someone thought 'let's keep this place the way it is and not develop it'. Photographer's dream, really. You can walk around the entire thing in an hour or so. Bathroom not open during covid. Free parking, free entrance.

In 1996, when we moved to Oneonta, we went to Emmons Pond Bog with friends and even today, 24 years later, we love the bog to explore and enjoy a wonderful family hike! From ages 2-66 everyone was so happy with their day today!
