Love Our New York Lands

Home / Love Our New York Lands

New York State Parks and the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) are partnering to encourage visitors at state parks and other state-owned and -managed lands to enjoy their outdoor
	adventure while protecting these precious natural resources. The Love Our New York Lands campaign recognizes the record numbers of New Yorkers and visitors from around the globe who have discovered that the Empire State's scenic 
	beauty and exceptional recreation make for the perfect destination.
The campaign offers tips to plan ahead, visit responsibly, and practice Leave No Trace™ principles, so that together we can help ensure these special places are protected for future generations. The goal is to provide visitors
	with the knowledge and tools necessary to reduce their impact, engage users to practice sustainable and safe recreation, and help all visitors feel welcome while visiting state lands.
Check back each season for more information.
There's so much to explore!
With more than 250 parks and historic sites in the New York State park system, there are more than 2,000 miles of trails just waiting to be explored. From easy walks on carriage roads to rugged backcountry treks, chances are you
Hiking Safety Tips
Hike with a buddy: Use the buddy system and hike with a friend or family member. 
Do not walk off-trail: Do not walk off-trail or enter closed areas. Cutting across switchbacks erodes the hillside and eventually destroys the trail. Plus, walking off-trail increases your chance of suffering an injury or getting lost.
Be courteous and observe trail etiquette: Communicate with others and step aside to yield, if possible, when others approach you on a trail. Alert those in front if you wish to pass.
Take plenty of drinking water: Drink and carry plenty of water (a minimum of 1 quart every two hours). Leave stream, river and lake water for the park wildlife. Although it looks clean and refreshing, the water can make you ill.
Shoes: Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes to help prevent injury.
Never feed or touch wildlife: Do not approach or attempt to move sick or injured wildlife. Please report any encounters with aggressive, sick or injured animals to a park staff.
Wildlife lives in all state parks, even near urban areas: Although rare, black bears, mountain lions and rattlesnakes may be seen. If you encounter wildlife on the trail, keep your distance, back away slowly and do not run. Report your sightings to park staff.
Snakes: Always know where you are stepping. For example, if you must traverse a log that has fallen across the trail, rather than just stepping over the log, first step up onto the log then step down once you know the coast is clear. Be cautious when climbing rocks or picking up firewood. If you see a snake, maintain a distance of at least 6 feet. Most bites occur when people get too close or try to touch them.
Ticks: Tick populations can increase depending on the season. Take the following precautions to avoid them:

Walk in the middle of trails.
Use insect repellent.
Tuck your pants into your socks.
After taking off gear, check for hitchhiking ticks.
Always do a “tick check” with the help of a friend.

Poison oak: It is a common plant throughout much of California. Learn to identify its shiny, three-leaf pattern, and avoid touching it.
Trail Tips - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

Burn all wood and coals to ash, put out campfires completely, then scatter cool ashes.

Respect Wildlife

Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them.
Never feed animals. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, and exposes them to predators and 
 other dangers.
Protect wildlife and your food by storing rations and trash securely.
Control pets at all times, or leave them at home.
Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: mating, nesting, raising young, or winter.

Be Considerate of Other Visitors

Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience.
Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail.
Step to the downhill side of the trail when encountering pack stock.
Take breaks and camp away from trails and other visitors.
Let nature's sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises.

Safety

Do not leave anything valuable in your car. If you do experience a break-in, be sure to report it to law enforcement 
 authorities.
Do not leave food in your car or in a trail shelter. Any food that is left in an unsealed container is an attraction for wildlife. 
 Bears have been known to break into cars if they smell food. Even unopened containers left in trail shelters have been broken 
 into by wildlife. If you must leave food, use a bear-proof canister and secure it out of the reach of bears.
Do not drink unpurified water from open streams, lakes, or ponds. Bring water from home or use a water purifier.
Be aware of your surroundings.
Avoid dehydration by drinking water regularly. You know you are drinking enough if you urinate often and the urine comes 
 out clear.
Avoid getting lost by staying with your group, staying on the trail, and paying attention to trail markers. If lost, either 
 backtrack or use a cell phone to call for assistance.
Being A Responsible Angler - NYSDEC
Anglers can help by obeying these baitfish regulations and following the general principles below:Never use baitfish in waters where their use is prohibited.Never release live bait from your bait bucket into any of New York's waters.Never move bait or other fish from one water to another.Never stock any species of fish in any water without obtaining a free Fish Stocking Permit from your Regional Fisheries Office.Only use certified disease-free bait purchased from a licensed dealer.Always dispose of water from your bait bucket on land- never back into a water body.Use Best Practices for Catching and Releasing FishWhile a fresh fish dinner represents the ideal conclusion to a fishing trip for many people, an increasing number of anglers prefer to return their catch to the water. Unfortunately, improperly catching and handling fish can result in stress and injury to the fish that can greatly impact their survival.How You Can Help: Releasing larger sportfish and panfish back to the water helps ensure that mature, healthy fish can spawn again, and helps to perpetuate a fit population of quality-size fish for future angling enjoyment. When practicing catch and release, anglers can take a few simple steps to help released fish survive:Quickly play and land fish-- do not fight fish to exhaustion.Handle fish as little as possible and release them quickly, minimizing their time out of water-- unhook fish in water if possible.Handle fish carefully to avoid injury-- be sure to avoid contact with the gills, and do not squeeze fish or remove protective slime. Pike and walleyes shouldn't be gripped by the eye sockets.Consider using only artificial lures-- their use is mandatory on some waters.Use barbless hooks if you plan to release most of the fish you catch. When a fish is deeply hooked, do not try to remove the hook-- clip the leader instead.Additional Catch and Release Guidance for Trout and SalmonRefrain from fishing in warm water conditions: Since trout are cold-water species, it is important to pay attention to warming conditions if you plan to catch and release. Avoid fishing for trout during the warm summer months when stream temperatures are elevated. Likewise, avoid fishing in spring holes when water temperatures are in the mid-70s or higher.

Trail Tips - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

Avoid poisonous plants by learning to recognize poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. Avoid contact by wearing long 
 pants and sleeves in areas where poisonous plants occur and washing your clothes when you leave the trail.
Be prepared for inclement weather by checking the weather forecast before you hit the trail. Be aware of signs of worsening 
 weather and prepare to take an alternate route or return to your vehicle. Carry alternate clothing, plenty of food and water, and 
 map and compass if necessary.
Be prepared for adverse trail conditions, including fallen trees, washouts, landslides, floodwaters, and patches of ice and 
 deep snow.

Etiquette
The following general courtesy and etiquette guidelines may not apply to all trails or all uses. Be sure to follow any 
 trail-specific guidelines posted on trailhead kiosks.

Don't litter. Pack out your trash.
Take only pictures. Leave what you find.
Be friendly and courteous.
Stay on the trail. Shortcutting the trail and bypassing muddy areas destroys vegetation, leads to erosion, reduces habitat 
 quality, and causes unsightly damage to the landscape.
Avoid using trails when they are excessively muddy.
Respect wildlife. Keep your distance. Never feed wild animals.
Respect private property.
Respect other visitors and their experience. Avoid excessive noise.
Use extra caution when using headphones. You may not be able to hear warnings.
Keep your dog under control at all times.
Keep yourself and your bike or horse under control and proceed at a safe speed and within your ability at all times. 
 Anticipate other trail users around blind curves.
Share the trail. Keep to the right except to pass. When in doubt, give the other user the right of way. Warn people when you 
 are planning to pass.
Bicyclists yield to pedestrians and equestrians. Runners and hikers yield to equestrians.

How to be bear aware in Sonoma County Regional Parks
Speak calmly to let the bear know you are there
Avoid eye contact, which a bear can perceive as a threat
Back away slowly
Don’t climb a tree
Avoid dropping food or giving the bear access to a backpack
Leave the area or take a detour
Report your sighting to park staff

We don’t recommend Sonoma County hikers carry bear spray because local black bears do not pose the same safety concern as grizzly bears.
Keep dogs on leash
A study found that nearly half of bear attacks in North America involved a dog. Off-leash dogs may chase a bear and cause the bear to defend itself, and things can get serious when humans try to defend their pet or a dog runs back to its owner with a bear in pursuit. 
Be bear aware while camping
Keep a clean campsite by securing trash in park garbage bins or packing out all trash and food scraps. Never burn scraps in your campfire. Keep food and scented items properly stowed in food lockers or bear-proof containers. 
With their sense of smell and huge appetites, bears may consider any of the following items a meal: toiletries, trash, ice chests (even if empty), drinks, soap, sunscreen, bug spray, chapstick, canned goods, pet food or any other scented objects,
If you encounter a bear in a campground or developed arena, do not allow the bear access to food. Yell, bang pots and pans, act aggressively and make lots of noise to scare the bear away.
Fed bears are dead bears
Bears that gain access to human food lose their natural fear and are more likely to be targeted by poachers, are more likely to be hit by cars and are more likely to engage in behavior that leads to their euthanasia.

A bear-sized way to help
The bear population appears to be increasing in Sonoma County, which is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. We encourage everyone who recreates in the parks to be bear aware and help spread bear-aware messaging to others. 
Co-existence is key. Sonoma County Regional Parks is updating its facilities with bear-proof trash cans, recycling bins and food lockers .

Ticks: Preparation is the best prevention
By Tina Luster and Kendall Gutt
Exploring nature means you’ll be interacting with, well, nature. And ticks can be a part of that interaction. In fact, ticks are active year-round in Sonoma County and surrounding areas.
Learning about ticks can make encountering them in nature a little less scary.
Shown are the relative sizes of several ticks at different life stages. (Photo courtesy of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
Ticks in California
Ticks are arachnids – in the same family with spiders, mites and scorpions. They have eight legs and typically have a teardrop-shaped body. They vary in color and pattern.
While six species out of 48 in California attach themselves to humans, just one of those – the Western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus) species – carries Lyme disease. That said, California is considered endemic for Lyme disease. Some areas of the county can be more prevalent for ticks carrying Lyme than others.
Other ticks can carry a variety of diseases. Many have similar symptoms: fever, fatigue, headaches, joint pain, rashes and aches. Most occurrences can be treated with antibiotics, but it's important to catch it early. If you develop a fever or a rash after hiking, call your doctor.
Two adult female blacklegged ticks are shown on a hiking boot. (Photo courtesy of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
Preparation is the best prevention

Stay on the trail. Ticks hang out in tall grasses.
Wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants that are fitted, but not too tight. “Flowy” clothing may brush up against vegetation and give ticks a free ride.
Wear light colors so ticks are visible if they are crawling on your clothing.
Insect repellants and insecticides may be helpful.
Stop a tick from latching onto your skin by checking your clothing and exposed skin frequently during your hike.
Check your clothing and exposed skin before getting in your car to go home. Ticks can become unwanted passengers in your car and can attach to you days later.
