A pretty place to walk. Natural wooded trails and a beautiful planked walkway over the river/marsh. Great views of the Hudson. Limited parking! Not ideal during Covid as I believe they closed most of parking off.

A secret waterfall! Shhh. This is a local's secret. Park in the lot and follow the tall trees trail (to the left). You'll have to cross over some planks at some point and take a steep descent down (wear good shoes!) but you will end up at a beautiful waterfall and swimming hole. It's a short (but steep) hike. Just stay to the left when the trail splits and make sure to carry out anything you carry in! There's also a tree swing at the bottom!

Entertainment & Activities
This is a famous hiking trail and a portion of it runs very close by!
There are several access points but there is one section of it that is less than a 5 min drive from the house. Just continue north on Old Albany Post (from the house you would turn right out of our street Lake Celeste Drive) and go to Chapman Road. Turn right on Chapman and the trail head is immediately on your left (you can park along the road there). The trail is really pretty (a little incline at first) but you basically go one direction and then have to turn around and come back the same way. We sometimes veer off and make it a circle but it's a bit more confusing.
