The Mohonk Preserve was founded in 1963 as the Mohonk Trust by guests of the Mohonk Mountain House and the Smiley family, who are the founders and present owners of the Mohonk Mountain House. This resort and its Victorian hotel was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. A reciprocal agreement allows Preserve members and day visitors to visit the resort grounds.

Each year the Preserve welcomes 150,000 visitors who come to rock climb, mountain bike, hike, ski, and study and enjoy nature. The land is home to more than 1,400 plant and animal species, including the endangered peregrine falcon and 2,000 acres of rare dwarf pitch pine. Interconnected, protected areas provide shelter, food, and mating opportunities to black bears, bobcats, warblers, timber rattlesnakes, and many other animals.
