Photos by: Bill Combs Jr.
Formalized in Fall 2020, the Schoharie County Eagle Trail is an accessible bird watching route designed to entertain and educate visitors on the flourishing eagle population in Schoharie County, upstate New York.
While on the trail, visitors will be directed through the heart of Schoharie County, seeing the area’s stunning beauty, contributing to the local economy, and perhaps most importantly, becoming better informed on our nations crest and our community ties to Native heritage. Proudly, Schoharie County has a rich history and reverence of the Iroquois Nation in which the eagle is recognized as the Protector of Peace.
