Trails
Albany Corning Preserve
Enjoy a beautiful walk along the Hudson River (part of the Mohawk-Hudson Bike-Hike Trail)!
Five Rivers Environmental Education Center

The Crossings of Colonie
One of my favorite parks in the Capital District!
Zim Smith Trail
A great trail that runs through Shenantaha Creek Park in Malta, NY.
Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail
A 9 mile trail that runs between the Port of Albany & Voorheesville. This trail is fully paved and is great for walking, running & bike riding!
Lions Park in Niskayuna, NY
A small park with access to the Mohawk-Hudson Bike Trail. This trail is stroller friendly.
Mohawk Landing Nature Preserve in Clifton Park, NY
A short trail down to the shores of the Mohawk River. This path is not stroller friendly.
Vischer Ferry Nature & Historic Preserve in Rexford, NY
A great place to take a walk! This trail is good for all skill levels.
Hayes Nature Park in Clifton Park, NY
This is one of my favorite places to take a walk with my three year old son because it is shaddy and the path is packed down which makes it easy for him to walk on.
Albany Pine Bush Preserve
The blue trail at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve is a great place to take a walk. It is 0.9 miles which is the perfect distance for my son that is three years old.
June Farms in West Sand Lake, NY
A great place to take a walk and see animals! Check their website for admission information.
Buckingham Pond in Albany, NY
A great place in the City of Albany to take a short walk and see some wildlife. There is also a playground next to the pond.
Bauer Park Walking Trail in the Village of Colonie
My three year old son loves this walk because the whole trail is a boardwalk. However, be careful because the boards can be slippery when wet.
