Good trail for canal history buffs
By rmr021 in August, 2009
This travels mostly along the towpath of the original Champlain Canal. Although it's pleasant and shady, it's way too short to be made a destination, unless you happen to be a history buff. Trail runs from Lock 5 of the Hudson River, just north of Schuylerville, to the Schuyler House, just south of the post office. The trail is somewhat difficult to find in parts. It actually runs almost 1.5 miles.
