My husband and I have used the different segments of this trail for our evening walks. It’s a lovely flat trail that’s nice for walking and bikes. It’s never crowded, and offers a lot of shade during the summertime.

The Hyde Collection is a world class museum located in upstate New York that can truly boast about it's amazing collection - one that you would not expect to find outside of a major city. Situated just outside of the city center of Glens Falls, which is a bustling town full of shops, cafes, breweries and parks - this amazing museum is the perfect destination to explore art ranging from Rembrandt to Picasso, work from the middle ages to modern work from the likes of Robert Motherwell. They also have amazing art programs for adults, children and families. The Hyde Collection is a perfect place to plan a day trip around to explore the Museum and offerings in Glens Falls, Queensbury and Lake George - any time of the year. Its also a perfect place to stop, rest, reflect and relax for travelers embarking on other adventures in the Adirondacks and is a quick trip of the highway for travelers coming into the region from NYC, NJ, Boston or Montreal. The Hyde is a cozy place to spend an afternoon in the winter, and a lovely space to wander and explore during the summer during track season in Saratoga Springs during dark days at the track. I can't recommend this museum enough - the quality and ambience of the space, the new exhibitions and their permanent collection which truly rivals that of museums you expect to find in NYC, Philadelphia and even in major European art and cultural hubs and the plethora of options to explore surrounding the museum make this spot a perfect destination .... it's also a truly romantic spot for a date too ;)

Sip & Canvas offers an alternative to the typical bar pub or party scene. In our paint and sip studio, guests can expect to un-wined in a classy yet comfortable no pressure social environment during a two hour instructional painting class.
