If it were not for a few vantage points along the trail overlooking the City ofCohoes, you would be unaware of traveling through the river city at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. Side trips to the historic mills, Cohoes Falls overlook, and other historic sites are enjoyable and educational.
For those trail users interested in a tour of the river communitiesthat developed around the labor and industry movements of theturn of the century, follow the local streets to the Uncle Sam Trail.The scenic approach at the northerly end is through Van SchaickIsland on Ontario Street, then Peebles Island and Waterford to Lansingburgh on the Troy-Waterford Bridge, site of one of the first bridges to cross the Hudson River. From the south, follow thebike trail signs across the Green Island Bridge. The Uncle Sam Trail follows an old railroad that is tucked into the side of the hill overlooking Troy.
The Cohoes section, the Uncle Sam Trail, and the Hudson Riversection all meet at the Green Island Bridge. The trail follows local streets in this area. Take time to visit some of the many small neighborhood stores or travel to downtown Troy and visit the Troy Riverfront Park immediately south of the Green Island Bridge or theRiverSpark Visitor's Center at 251 River St.
From the Menands area south to the City of Albany, you can explore thelagoons, open fields, and stands of old poplar trees along the floodplainof the Hudson River. Here the water rises and falls with the tide and a small sandy beach can be found with unspoiled views of the river'sedge. Exercise trails, outdoor sculptures, and experimental rice fieldsare all evidence of the renewed interest in the Hudson River. TheErastus Corning Riverfront Preserve, the award winning riverfrontattraction, terminates the southerly end of the trail. The Preserve isaccessible from the Quay Street underpass at the base of Broadway in Albany and the Dunn Memorial Bridge pedestrian walkway fromRensselaer.
