The paved walkway and wooden benches contribute to make this a delightful place for a quiet riverside stroll, a quick jog, or a family picnic. If you fee l lucky, you can fish from the shores or from your boat. Fishing has made a strong comeback in the Moha wk in recent years, and although it's still advisable not to eat the fish caught, the quantity of fish present is impressive. O n just about any summer weekend you might encounter one of many walking tours of the beautiful homes in this area. Or, perhaps you can take in the Outdoor Art Show in September .
People are friendly and the lifestyle here is slow and relaxing.
A t night, in the Stockade, jazz it up with top name jazz performers who are regularly featured with world class cuisine at the VanDyck on Union Street. Or, take in a play at Schenectady's Civic Theater Playhouse on Church Street. The Mohawk River comes alive at night too in the summer with Union College crew practice, Coor's Water Ski Team exhibitions or take in one of the several gigantic fireworks displays through out summer, when the still river waters mirror the night sky a-blaze.
