Mohawk River State Park
About
Mohawk River State Park is a 315-acre state park in New York, about 2 miles from Niskayuna. The park is managed by the state park agency and holds two trails within its boundaries, making it a compact spot for a shorter outing close to town. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from the Albany airport weather station, about 4 miles away, show September highs around 74°F with lows near 53°F, while May runs in the low 70s by day. Several trails sit right at the park's edge. Power Line Trail and East Bluffs Trail are each about 0.1 mile away, and the Orange Loop starts roughly 0.2 mile out. Whitmyer-Shaker Gorge Trail, about half a mile away, adds another option for extending a visit.
