Confirmed from Hike And Bike Trail Access' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Hike And Bike Trail Access

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (22 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I love this bike path, it leads u all the way out to route 9. It's such a smooth walk especially with my pup, he likes to drag me places lol, I walked this path twice now from Cohoes all the way to clifton park and I love love it. If you are looking for a path that isn't too crowded this is it.

★★★★★ — Jamie , Sep 2021

So, we started on the Albany side of Colonie. The trail needs some attention. The roots are erupting through the path, which makes for a bumpy ride. In my opinion, starting at Lion’s Park and riding toward Buffalo is a better option. Big parking lot, bathroom and scenic!

★★★★☆ — A , Jun 2026

Calm peaceful and out the way nice addition to your walk or bike ride!
