This is one of my favorite places to go. It's peaceful, beautiful & few people go here and the people that do go here are respectful. There's a paved path for bikers, runners and walkers that goes from Kiwanis Park to Schenectady County Community College.

A quiet wall tie up for boats, on the top side of Lock E8. Grass & trees, no facilities? Close to the bike path which was surprisingly busy. Yes you can hear the vehicle traffic on the busy road but it quieted down later on & we didn't hear anything overnight. Occasional train noise but not at night.

A nice and quiet place close to home if nesting in Rotterdam/Schdy... There is alot of room for fishing. 1 can watch the boats passing through the locks, got for a walk or bike on the bike path. Even bring some burgers and charcoal for there are grills to use. Just be sure to clean up after 1s self, we got to keep our gems beautiful.

Spectacular view and the trail offers multiple parks for picnicking alongside the water. For bicycling the trail is mostly flat with a bit of an incline in several places. It also offered a couple of interesting historical markers.
