Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail is a super popular biking, walking, and running trail spanning from Albany to Voorheesville. This is a great trail for longer, flatter runs (or really runs of any distance since it is an out-and-back trail), and you can choose whether you want to stay on the paved path or branch off on some of the dirt trails.
