Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail

Great trail. Paved and cleaned up nicely. It’s clearly marked and well kept. No garbage laying around. Sights on the trail are pleasant and it’s not too loud, you almost forget you’re in the city! All the people we encounter are kind and courteous as well as observing the “rules” of sharing the trail. It feels safe and well traveled! An emergency phone or tower would be a nice addition, but not totally a deal breaker.

This is a great hiking and biking path. It is very smooth and even with places to rest. It always seems to have plenty of foot traffic. It is nine miles long with plenty of places to park and access it or disembark from it.

Terrific trail with great views and so well maintained. Bit of a work out but the uphill is gradual

This is a great place to take a walk. It is next to the roads, but it is partially secluded by the trees. Scattered benches along the trail. Off street parking. EV charging station.

Beautiful trail, together with recent addition about 10.5 miles one way. Waterfalls on the way. Nice views of the creek. Some black raspberry patches on the way. The bike trail is nice and smooth. One way mostly up the hill. The way back is lots of fun. Did it with 2 kids. They loved it as well! Some exercise equipment along the way. New benches for rest if needed. There is a little gravel part, but after it smooth new asphalt again.
