About the Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center
The Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center, located at 3197 State Route 55 in Gardiner, New York, is a travel agency that offers recreation suggestions, directions, and information on local wildlife and geology. The Visitor Center is open year-round, free-of-charge from 9am-5pm, with closures on New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve at Noon, and Christmas Day. Visitors can explore models of wildlife in the main hall, enjoy the Kids Corner with nature-themed games and activities, and meet Tripod, the Preserve’s rescue turtle. Outside, visitors can play in the Children’s Forest, which features tools and wheelbarrows for outdoor exploration. The short, self-guided trails around the Visitor Center provide an introduction to the ridge.
During peregrine breeding season, temporary cliff and boulder closures are in place at the Trapps Cliff. Visitors can check the current weather conditions at the NYS Mesonet station at Spring Farm. The Testimonial Gateway Trailhead electric vehicle charging stations are temporarily closed for maintenance, but the charging stations at the Visitor Center remain open. There is also a photography exhibit and sale by Hardie Truesdale at the Visitor Center Gallery.
Gift memberships to Mohonk Preserve are available for purchase, and reservations are being accepted for the Samuel F. Pryor III Shawangunk Gateway Campground season. The Preserve is working on a plan to address the failing dam at Duck Pond, so visitors are asked to stay off the pond surface and keep pets on leash. Temporary closures are also in place at the Trapps Cliff during peregrine breeding season.

Reviews of Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center
"Had an absolutely wonderful outing. We hiked the 5mile loop. Took us about 3.5hrs because we took our time and stopped for the views and to watch all the climbers. $15 admission paid at the Visitors Center (credit card is ok) but we learned later that we could have parked in the other lot that allows you to bypass some of the walking from the center. Otherwise after the pretty steep but manageable steps up from the second parking lot, the rest of the path is flat and gravel. Views were great this day. Highly recommend"
"Amazing hike! From the visitor center to the top of the tower is about 2.5hrs. Roundtrip with some breaks to rest took us a little 8.5miles and 4hrs and 20mins. It’s worth it!!! The first bit past the visitor center. Is straight up hill over rocks. Very steep and make sure you have proper shoes for this! Once at the top the main road is pretty flat with some up hill portions but nothing like the beginning. Enjoy!!"
"Beautiful day. $15 hike but you can tell they put the money into caring for the trails"
"Very helpful staff! They know their trails. Clean bathrooms, water refills and snacks. Trail was nice and get a chance to see the climbers in prep mode. Def come back for more."
"Great point to start one of many hikes in this wonderful nature reserve. You can purchase hiking or climbing passes here. Helpful staff will be happy to advise regarding either. Maps and other merchandise are also available. In addition there is a special kids corner (lower level) multiple preserved stuffed animals, a scaled topographical model of the area and a butterfly garden. Restrooms on site and there are multiple (not too big) parking lots."
