I did a blog about five Albany area day trips that you could take with your family and friends. It's kind of an economic strategy to get away at an affordable price.
I had a great time going to these places to tell you about some easy to get to day trips. This one is right near exit 4 of the Northway, with the main entrance on Albany Shaker Road.
Here's another one of the trips that I mentioned in my blog about day trips. This one is very convenient in the Albany area. It's Rensselaer Lake, also known Six Mile Waterworks.
