Colonie Town Park Trail Head — Attraction in Town of Colonie

Parking lot is in rough shape. The bike path is nice.

Did not feel safe walking my dogs in the park. Colonie Town Park allows extremely rude people without trail etiquette to walk dogs off leash and they refuse to put their dogs on leash even if you express discomfort/fear and explicitly request they leash or control their dogs.
