This section of the river is very scenic, with very few signs of how extremely urban the surrounding area really is. With the trees buffering I-787 from the road here, the only real non-natural noise was other boats on the river and a kid on a ATV, on the other side of the river, towards the North Rensselaer Sewage Treatment Plant.

This is the famous former refrigerated food rail building that burned last fall, that nobody seems to know what to do about. Also, notice the barge restaurant at the Corning Preserve.
