The Albany-Hudson Electric Trail is a 36-mile segment that is part of the Empire State Trail that runs from Rensselaer to Hudson. The majority of the trail is off-street, where you are either on asphalt or stone dust. This section is a good asphalt section.

Great views of Kinderhook Lake from the road. There are house and trees around the lake, so at times the view is obstructed, but there are enough spots where you can see the lake to make it worth the trip.

Great views of Kinderhook Lake from the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail.

Wonderful section of the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail. While some parts of the trail go through built up and suburban areas, this section is rural and goes through beautiful fields.

The Albany-Hudson Electric Trail passes by Kinderhook Lake, and there are actually some great views of the lake whenever there are breaks in the trees. There are some residential houses and neighborhoods around the lake, but so many trees are growing right up next to the edges of the water that it is sometimes hard to spot the buildings. There are a few informational signs and benches along the portion of the trail that borders the lake.
