Peebles Island State Park

"A great place to see the whole city of Troy. Naturally the park is beautiful. A lots of kids play & exercise facilities. One of the greatest place for hiking.Highly recommended."

"Very nice State park that is nesstled between Waterford and Cohoes. There is a very nice hiking trail around the island. Very historic building were a lot of history has been made. Please remember that what you carry in you need to carry out. Help keep this park clean. If you are lucky enough, you may even see some Bald Eagles."

"Nice 2 mile walk ..easy trail Nice views We went in during May and the weather was not that hot so there was almost no bugs. But it is recommended to put some mosquitoes repellent especially because people say there could be ticks"

"Peebles Island State Park is a wonderful place to visit even on a cloudy day! It was damp and the ground was wet so dress appropriately. There are multiple trails made up of dirt and some with gravel. The outer perimeter trail gives you beautiful views of the surrounding water ways, including water falls/rivers. There are a few picnic tables throughout the park to take a break if needed. Park guide signs are posted on trees. Conveniently located just off (87) or (787) and close enough to other attractions and great restaurants in the Cohoes/Troy/Albany area. It is also connected to the Empire State Trail."

"My group of 4 took the perimeter trail that is a bit I’ver 2 miles, the “red” trail. It was absolutely beautiful, massive trees and great slate rock cliffs. One water rapids was extremely beautiful! We walked out into the river because it was dry and at a level where you could walk into the river without getting wet! Saw many deer that were not afraid of us at all. Highly recommend this trail if you like to hike."
