Ann Lee Pond Nature and Historic Preserve

Ann Lee pond is a scenic short walk through a nicely maintained trail.

Ann Lee Pond is a peaceful and secluded nature trail in Colonie, NY. The trails are well kept and easy to hike and follow. There are many nice views of the pond on the trail. There are many picnic tables around to sit down. You can also fish in the pond. If you do the loop trail around the pond there are 2.3 miles of trails total. Dogs on leashes are allowed. Trail maps are available for free online.
If time permits be sure to check out the nearby Shaker Historic Village. This site contains historic buildings from the original Shaker settlement that was created there in the 18th century. It is easy to walk around and there is a gift shop there.
Plenty of parking available, with electric car charging spots. Only negative of the area is that the planes from the nearby airport are loud. Worth a stop for a nice hike.

And then the old Ann Lee Nursing home was gone. This is a beautiful place to walk the nature trail around the pond. Walk and see the bulls and other livestock at the Shaker site. The barns gorgeous, the people are friendly. It’s relaxing if you just want to take a nice walk, or relax reading information about the shakers

Beautiful Park and a nice easy trail! Highly recommend.Looks like the EV charger on the parking lot is for free.

Awesome park with great woodland trails, pond, beaver dam, boardwalk over wetlands, and informational signs. Walking here you are deep in the woods but you are just next the airport! Fiddlestick ferns galore!

This loop trail was such a nice Sunday walk, and it was very flat and easy to maneuver.

Just make sure you have shoes with some good grip and can get dirty because the trails tend to hold lots of water in areas, and the leaves make it hard to see the mud.

I would also keep your maps or Alltrails app up because there are alot of forks and trails that lead off in different directions.

Another beautiful nature trail tucked in Upstate NY, especially nearing peak fall leaf change. This is a nice and quiet spot near the Albany Airport. There is a nice trail for biking, walking and bird watching. There are also picnic tables for a nice sit down. Worth checking out.

28oct Nice cool ~50s_F late p.m. walk of the Ann Lee Pond Preserve .. The Trail going around the Pond was in good walking condition whereas the Loop below the Pond traversed over many muddy sections .. Didn't see any one on the Trail. Lots of peace and quiet :)
