Recently people have been joining me on my Sunday Walks in Downtown Albany. Typically, I walk in Albany when I'm scheduled as a tour guide on the USS Slater (DE Docent). A slide show and a map are detailed at this blog entry. The USS Slater is now open. I plan on walking in Albany on Monday, Memorial Day, May 27. You can contact me at: dedocent@gmail.com.

2010-10-09 Zim Smith Trail, Round Lake and Back


The Zim Smith is a beautiful trail for casual walks or biking. One of our favorite walks is a 5 mile round trip on the trail, starting at Shenantaha Creek Park to the Village of Round Lake. We combine this trip with a afternoon lunch at the Lake Ridge Restaurant in Round Lake. A 2-1/2 mile trip in builds a great appetite for a fine lunch. The trip back helps justify the dessert.

The slide show details a short loop around Shenantaha Creek Park and the Zim Smith Trail extension to Coons Crossing. After Round lake, the Zim Smith Trail crosses Route 9 and continues to Coons Crossing (another 2 miles). This segment is not paved.
