Hudson Valley

Lake Albany

Lake Albany

Hillshade of the Upper Hudson Valley, area below 500 feet sea level shown in blue. Shows how air pollution often gets trapped in the basin and where historic Lake Albany once was.

Looking Across the Hudson River

Not too bad of an afternoon the on the Hudson. Fairly sunny, and flat water. Much of the Hudson River between Albany and Troy is undeveloped, because when suburbia was creeping in during the 1950s and 1960s, the the Hudson River was not somewhere you would want to live near, much less kayak along.
