Get outdoors in Guilderland! Explore a globally-rare ecosystem at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve, one of only twenty inland pine barrens left in the world. Keep an eye out for a glimpse of the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly while venturing across over 20 miles of trails. Tawasentha Park, located on Route 146 in Guilderland, is a beautiful town park with rolling wooded areas, hiking trails, tennis courts, playgrounds, community gardens and water activities such as fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Head to the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy’s Bozen Kill Preserve for a picturesque waterfall and wooded hiking trails. Or, adventure off-the-beaten path to marvel at French Hollows Waterfalls under a railroad bridge in Altamont.
