Great park! Natural play scape is a lot of fun for kids and super creative. There is a pavilion area for events. They also have added a covered stage with lights and electric outlets. There are some nice level trails with excellent bird watching due to the habitat established. Nice river views from the bridge.
It is a pleasant area to get a walk in. Very scenic views of the river.
Great trails,walking or hiking., fishing, pack your lunch and go.
Great trail. Easily accessible. Can just park at the crossing for those who arent wanting to hike. Fun adventure, the lock is pretty interesting with a little park dedicated to how it works/how it was built, etc.
A dirt/ grass bike/hike 2 mile trail runs the length of the park. At the Lock, either go briefly on road or use lot to access Lock, then cross lock to continue on trail. Small playground, pavilion, stone path maze kayak launch... Nice for young kids.
A beautiful little park ❤️ highly recommend for photshoots and a short pretty walk with a dpg 🙂
I take my two year old and dogs to walk and we love it! Theres a nice walking bridge and a place for the dogs to Wade in and swim.
Went to Rogue Fest there this year and discovered a great park in the process. We will definitely go back again.
Peaceful, interesting, and easy to enjoy. Easy walk around the island.
Nice trails. Beautiful scenery. And an all around wholesome area for some quiet outdoor time.
This natural playground was better cared for a few years back, but we trimmed some weeds and still enjoyed the balancing stumps and beams and the slides built into the hill. Well worth the time to hike the “sensory trail” and wait for the locks to fill.
Very easy hike and not very crowded.
Love the play garden, hiking trails, and pavilion! Every time we go exploring we find another hidden treasure.
Winter is prime time to go out looking for bald eagles. This is a great place for bird watching!
Wonderful park and great for family walks and photography. Theres so many places within the park for photos and Ive been asked numerous times to take photos here.The only downside of the park (at no fault of the park itself) is the lack of police presence/surveillance here. Im at the park almost daily and on numerous occasions witness drug use or verbal alterations in the parking lot and on the trails.All in all, a great place!
This is a great park! My 4 year old loves the play garden. There are a few trails and a bridge to walk across the Hudson. The perfect place to bring a picnic and spend the afternoon!
Such an amazing location! History, scenic, wildlife, river, trails, small playground, canal lock, kayak launch....something for everyone.
A cool place to explore with kids and to take the dog for a walk
Great trails, something for everyone.I was hoping that they would play up Burgoynes bridge of boats and its significance but its an afterthought in the mind of the park with no trail signage to ensure visitors know where this historic site is located in their park.
Went here because I was in the area and saw the Canal lock on the map. Watched a giant barge go through then decided to check out the park. At first it seems like a generic park but its really weird. Bird sculptures, signs attached to bushes, modern art, an old bridge, remains of old bridges, and the dam at the top. Dont miss the play area near the back parking lot, I wont spoil it.
This is a neat park with great trails! Bring a mask if you intend on walking the trails, as many come here. Otherwise, its an amazing spot!!
Beautiful but could be better. This park runs on donations . The grass is high and the beautiful art installation are covered with overgrown grass. If more people took an interest maybe more donations would be obtained.
Nice park good walk take some pictures
I love it here. So beautiful.
Beautiful park. Easy trails for a nice walk to the falls. I love the slides that are throughout the path.
Bathroom facilities, plenty of parking. Good fishing at the locks or anywhere you can get to the water. Big pike,big bass, Big catfish. Do not eat fish. Catch and release only. But these are very large fish. Last year my buddy got a ten plus pound bass from the over flow pond as you come into the park. Ive personally caught cats upto 35 pounds. And please over 4 feet. Largest snapping turtle Ive ever seen last year. About 4ft long. No less than 170 pounds would be my guess. 65 pound carp if you can catch them . My favorite fishing place in my area. Saratoga tackle can take care of all your fishing needs. They are now across from the high school and subway restaurant. Enjoy.🐬🐬
Great place to hike!
Clean . Community based. Some not so friendly about dogs. And could learn some dog basic etiquette. But otherwise gorgeous peice of the Hudson, with history and art!
Nice 👍 place,wish I had more time to go on the boat ride .
Wonderful place. Fun short bike ride. People fishing, walking. Exploring but not crowded.
Small park. Champlain canal on one side, Hudson river on the other. Has bike trails, dog park, gardens, childrens area, foot bridge. Nice, calm place.
For the amount of years this park has existed it continues to grow and add new features and events. They are expanding as this is being written! It adds a nice option for the community and really ties in local history!
Nice little park along the river. The bridge at one end gives a nice view of the river. When the warm weather comes it will be a nice place to visit.
Great place to walk and explore. Very family friendly.
Such a gift. Albany symphony.
Great events and nice walk. The play garden needs a little work but a lovely place to visit.
One of our favorite places. Fish, walk, jog, snowshoe, geocache or just enjoy being outside by the river... You can do so many things there.
The concert was really enjoyable ... We had a great time !!!
The captain was very knowledgeable and personable. The trip was about 2 hours and it was very pleasant. I would take the ride again.
Great for a stroll. The walk along the river is wonderful. To sit on the bench at the river and enjoy the quietness.
One of my favorite places to go in Saratoga county.
This place is a gem! Riverside walks, plus the boat ride is worth looking at. Highly recommended for kids also.
One of the nicest Hudson River Parks I have ever seen. It has a beautiful permaculture area and great fishing
Very nice trails. I wish the plantings were native plants
Great walking trails. Kids LOVED the play garden!
So nice and peaceful. Make sure you bring bug spray though because they are bad!!
What a unique place to go and enjoy all nature has to offer. Loved it!
Nice park for relaxing, not too crowded.
Great trails, very few people, secluded, beautiful.
Enjoyed a hike/walk with the grandkids on a sunny cool Jan day. Not bad forthis time of year.
Very quiet and serene place when you just need a few minutes to yourself.
Such a neat park, so much fun to explore.

2022-04-30I absolutely love this place! I hope to make a lot more trips here during the summer! Its a huge park with beautiful views (and birding sights!) and its a great visit no matter what time of the year - its my favorite! :-)

2022-06-13Hidden gem along the Hudson just outside of Schuylerville. Plenty of trails and views across the river, the canal and the original canal and towpath. A lovely 1.5 mile walk along the towpath gets you to the center of town. Enjoy the peace, watch the boats move through the lock, or enjoy fishing with the family.

2021-04-12Nice park with family and pet friendly trails around the perimeter of this small island on the Hudson river. Approximately 2 mile perimeter and several points of environmental and historical interest along the trail. A small young children play area and picnic tables near the car park.

2020-04-29I have to give the town of Schuylerville to make the lock into a nice park for the towns people, you can hike, fish, picnic, playgrounds, take a boat rids plus visit a historical place. all this in a nice area. i thought we would do a quick hike and be on our way but we spent at least 3 hour enjoying the morning.

2018-07-16This place is great! Worth stopping if youre in the area, and enough to see to make a trip of it all on its own. Ive been a few times and still havent seen everything here.The play area and gardens near the back parking lot are great. Loved that somebody set up a kindness rocks project at the entrance there. Just an all-around cool place to explore on a nice day.

2019-04-29Very nice place. Clean and a few different trails to walk. You can bring your animals and they even have places for puppy poo placed around for clean up which is great! It also has a covered area with tables so you can bring food and have a picnic. Great area to travel.

2020-10-16Nice place for some privacy. Not that many people know about this area. Not a huge place but the landscape is varied enough for exploration with kids and pets. Relaxing.
