Friends of Peebles Island State Park

A really beautiful and underrated place in Troy. There are lots of birds you can see. It is a quiet place. The scenery is great. It has a nice trail to walk along. This is as good as any other state park. It is remarkably clean considering it to be in close proximity to a metropolitan area. One can come here by bus or bike from RPI. Visiting it in spring is a great idea. However, I look forward to visiting it again later this year to see the fall colors. There are a couple of good restaurants in the vicinity of the state park.

As always a very nice way to spend an afternoon. We found some great surprises in the form of inspirational hand painted rocks strategically placed throughout! The water is running nicely this time of the year to make the falls especially pretty. Keep your eyes open for deer and other wildlife, we saw an amazing mature male bald eagle in flight during our visit...breath taking!
