Mount Chocorua Scenic Area
Park
👍👍 Of all the mountains are climbed this 1 provides 1 of the best views for the least amount of work. Let me clarify it's not an easy hike but it is totally worth what you get out of it.

👍👍 I loved this walk downtown! Beautiful walk but it’s in a pretty busy place so be mindful of oncoming traffic! Lots of people walking dogs and I was so excited. The weather was nice too. I went first thing this morning. I recommend here for a nice peaceful walk

Riverfront Preserve
Park
👍👍 Beautiful track to walk; especially if you happen to be in Downtown Albany. Snow is plowed in the winter and the path is salted. Plenty of place to park you vehicle 🚗. Scenic walk along the Hudson River. You can also rent a kayak from DEC in the summer.
