Getting to Wolf Creek Falls
Wolf Creek Falls Preserve is located on Bozenkill Road, County Route 253, in the Town of Knox, Albany County. The parking area and kiosk are on the south side of the road, across from house numbers 774 and 816. In 1976, Drs. Patricia and Stephen Brown, biology professors at Siena and UAlbany, purchased the property and worked to clear an extensive network of trails. Following the death of his wife in 2004 and retirement to his home state of Michigan, Dr. Brown generously donated the property to the Conservancy to be maintained and preserved for public enjoyment. The preserve opened in 2007.

Hilltown History
The property was once part of the Rensselaerywyck estate. In 1864 the Van Aukens started clearing the land and put up stone walls to raise sheep, providing wool for the Huyck Felt Mill in Rensselaerville. Subsequent owners had a commercial stone quarry, raised pheasants, and raised beef cattle on the remaining open acres.
