Great trail to bike or take a long walk on paved trail, although it seems non paved trails may exist too, although I haven't explored these.

Amazing! One of my favorite places around Albany to run. Safe, paver, scenic, people are friendly parking is easy. Can not beat it

Sometimes wish more people would wave or just say "Hi". Life is so short, and a friendly gesture can just make your day a little better. Love this trail for Inline Skating. Little tough going uphill from the East trail head, but always worth the fast trip home. Hoping they can install some mile markers someday.

Nice easy ride. Mostly flat. Some road crossings. Plenty of parking available. Generally not very crowded.
