[edit] Description

Dyken Pond Center is owned and operated by Rensselaer County. It is open year-round and is considered a low-usage recreational area. The Director of the Center, Lisa Hoyt, is very open to the responsible use of Mountain Bikes on their property. One of the great advantages to the Center is that they do not allow hunting on the property. There are a total of 6 miles of trails on the Center's property and the adjoining Conservation Easements. Some of the Easement trails are currently not open officially to MTBr's. The Center is open year-round, although the access road is not paved and not plowed in the winter time.

[edit] Directions

To get to Dyken Pond Center, take Route 2 east from Troy, as if you were driving to Grafton Lakes SP. Once you go through Brunswick on Route 2, you will pass Route 351 on your right side. In about 2 miles, look for a right turn onto Blue Factory Road (there is a wooden sign that says Dyken Pond on it), drive up the hill for 2.1 miles. Go left onto Maddona Lake Road. Drive another 2.1 miles until the road makes a 90 degree left turn. Continue on straight at this turn down the Access Road for the Center (unpaved). Another 1.8 miles and you're there.
