Nice little place along the river right next to route 9 and Crescent bridge. There are a bunch of picnic tables and also a paved path that looks like it goes along the river. (We got takeout from a busy Country Drive Inn and brought it down the road to eat it here. We didn't walk on the path or anything but it was nice and quiet and clean.

Great little mountain that is especially great for kids who are just learning and trying to get comfortable skiing. There were 3 running lifts (2 that go to the top and one on the bunny hill) the prices are great to bring a family who is learning as well. We didn't do lessons but saw lots of lessons going on for kids and adults. I can't speak of the harder trails as we only went on the easy ones but there were a bunch to choose from.

Nice little hike only about 20 minutes outside of Albany. Short trail with a little incline at the beginning that leads to a little waterfall area where you can go out in the water and walk around on the rocks. There are a bunch of other little woodsy trails that you can take around too. The paths are very well marked with signs. This would be a good family hike with younger kids. I didn't see anything on it that little kids couldn't handle. We enjoyed it. We walked around for approximately 1.5 hours and didn't do everything on the map in that time.
