Sports & Outdoors

Schenectady County's parks and trails have some of the most beautiful views in the Capital Region! Explore the Plotterkill to take in the beauty of its waterfall, or get some major miles in on the Mohawk Hudson Bike Path, where you can run or bike along the river! There are so many ways to get outside in Schenectady!

Challenge yourself on one of the 6 exciting adventure courses, or relax and fly through the trees on their 9 zip lines, criss-crossing over a 500' long gorge! A perfect, and unique way to enjoy nature with a dash of adventure! 

A Few of Our Favorite Things...

No matter the weather, getting out for a walk, a run or a hike is a great way to #DiscoverSchenectady. Here are a few of our favorite places to hit the pavement...or the trail! 

Did You Know!? 

We even have ways to enjoy the snow!? Check out Maple Ski Ridge year-round for events and gorgeous views, but we especially love ski season! Varied trails offer skiers at all levels a good time! Not into skiing? Tubing is a great time for the whole family!
