I would love to go hiking in the woods in Kingsbury, New York. Kingsbury/Hudson Falls is my most favorite town of all. It has lots of amazing trails to navigate on. As long as I have a compass and cell phone on me. Of course there are great streams. There are hills. There are farms. Yeah, there is a railroad line, operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, that runs from Canada/New York border down to New York City. That includes between Whitehall and Fort Edward. The railroad tracks were part of the Delaware and Hudson Rail System. I enjoy the town a lot.

As you know I grew up there, and I think you did too when you were little. It's a nice place to live. I have never gone in the woods, other than when I was little going to follow my brother (your dad) into the woods to go to the stream.. I think it was a feeder stream to the Hudson River, but not sure about that. It's a wonder we didn't drown. I know the rail road you speak of, I used to hear it all the time when I lived in Fort Edward after I married in in 1968.

Yeah. Hudson Falls and Kingsbury is a very great place to hike in the woods. I bet you followed your brother into the woods and going to the Feeder Canal. The Feeder Canal joins into the Champlain Canal, where the Railroad Line is. The railroad is operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. There is a spot that is the end of the trail leading you to the railroad tracks, just south of the Rt 196 bridge. You are still along the Old Champlain, that drains into the main canal. Actually the Feeder Canal drains into the Old Champlain before joining the Champlain itself. The Feeder Canal also drains into the Hudson River. Did you know that the Hudson River is about to be dredged? The General Electric planned on this, which was required of the EPA. We want the Hudson River to be cleaned and returned to its original state. Meaning all the PCBs will be dredged. All the dredged sediments will be brought to and processed by the transportation and processing facility along the Champlain Canal near the new rail yard. Once the PCB-saturated sediments and all filtered and dried, it will be loaded onto the gondola rail cars and sent off to the Texas-based Waste Control Specialists, who will handle the PCB waste. If you want to check this out, it is www.hudsondredging.com. .

Jake, you are a wealth of information. I had no idea of all this.. I guess you keep up with everything there and also the maps of the area.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Jakesnake1978 (1156)   ranked 36 out of 46 in hiking  4 months ago

Yeah. I will understand that you do not know anything about maps of the town you grew up in. So if you want to know about the Hudson Falls/Kingsbury area, just go to www.msn.com. . Then click on maps & directions. Then you can type in Hudson Falls or Kingsbury, NY. Then let me know what you think.

Hello dear jakesnake. It seems that the place you have mentioned here is a very nice place for either camping or hiking. I wish that you have a wonderful time hiking in the woods. In fact, I love hiking as well, especially in the country where there are very beautiful mountains and clean streams or rivers, with green trees around them. In fact, I have done this for a few times and have had a lot of fun from hiking.


hiking in the country

I've never been there.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Jakesnake1978 (1156)   ranked 36 out of 46 in hiking  4 months ago

I see that you have never been there before. I figure that you do not know anything about New York at all. Well, if you want, you check out Hudson Falls/Kingsbury area by going to www.msn.com. . Then you can click on maps & directions. Then you type in Hudson Falls or Kingsbury, NY. Then let me know what you think. OK?


myLot reputation of 62/100. ghostlzy007 (135)   ranked 4 out of 46 in hiking  4 months ago

I tried, but there is no image of the park:(


myLot reputation of 62/100. ghostlzy007 (135)   ranked 4 out of 46 in hiking  4 months ago

I saw it on google earth. That's great, lakes, forests, mountains, trees. I think I like this place. It's wonderful.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Jakesnake1978 (1156)   ranked 36 out of 46 in hiking  4 months ago

Yeah, I bet google earth is a wonderful tool to search for hills through clicking on street view. If you go to maps.google.com, you will get to know about it.
