Nearest Intersection: Colyer Rd and Butler Rd
Directions: From the intersection of Routes 20 and 30 in Duanesburg, drive 1.7 miles north on Route 30. Turn left onto Eaton Corners Rd. After another 1.7 miles, turn left onto Bramans Corners Rd. Cross over the Schoharie Creek and turn right (note firehouse on the left) onto Burtonsville Rd. Proceed 1 mile to the intersection of Burtonsville and Butler Rds. Turn right onto Butler Rd for about 50 yards and turn left into the parking area.
Comments, Notes: I just want to point out that Butler Falls is on Wilsey Creek, but is not within the preserve. From the bridge at Butlers Falls, walk back up and cross the bridge. To your right you will see a path that starts with a couple of steps that leads you into the northern portion of the preserve, and runs along Wilsey Creek. There are several falls along here.
