Lions Park

My family has been coming here for years! It’s a very beautiful park and not too busy, a great visit no matter the season. I recently went in June and walked approximately 4 miles in the Buffalo direction and found the trail very pleasant, there are a number of benches and rest points along the way and the path is well maintained. Seems to be a popular biking trail if you’re into that.

I absolutely love Lions Park. I walk there every day. Sometimes twice a day! The ambiance is always chill, the people polite and kind. There's a sweet neighborhood library box that I drop off my books at, and today I picked up two! Oh, and the wildlife is amazing. Blue herons every day. Today I saw two baby deer and their mom! Love the views and tranquility. 5 ⭐✨⭐✨⭐

Excellent little place to park and go for a run/walk, bike ride, ect. There are three little picnic tables and some public restrooms as well you can bring some food and relax then go for a nice ride. You can also stop along the way in the path sit on a park bench and watch the planes take off from the airport

The park itself isn't much more than a parking lot, some grassy area, a gazebo, park benches, and an overgrown boat launch. But that's not what most locals come for. Is the miles-long, paved and well maintained trail along the Mohawk River, that extends East to Cohoes and West to Schenectady. The parking lot offers sufficient space and features a nice clean restroom.🚻 The trail is shared by cyclists and pedestrians, so take some precaution while walking and don't dash across the way before turning and looking. That said, most cyclists do use best practice and alert you before passing.🚴🚴‍♀️☝️ You can walk as far as you care to in either direction. In the summer months, you might do better heading West if you care to catch more glimpses of the Mohawk.🌊 There are a few spots to sit down and take a break. Also the cabin next to the parking lot doubles as an art studio some days.🏠 The river offers beautiful scenery and a diverse watershed that makes the trail a good spot for birdwatching.🦆 Enjoy the park and trail, and if you find this review helpful, please like!👍🏻
