Spring Walk: Hudson Crossing

This is a nature and historic park just north of Schuylerville on the Hudson River.  Located on an island of Champlain Canal Lock 5, it offers panoramic river vistas as well as canal overlooks along a fairly easy route.  Directions:  From Rt. 87’s exit 14, take Gilbert Rd. to Rt. 29 (Lake Ave.) and go east to Schuylerville for just under 11 miles, then turn left (north) onto US 4 and continue for half a mile.  Turn right to Lock 5 and you’ll see a parking area 0.3 miles ahead on your right.  (CR-42, Schuylerville, NY 12871)
