As we get closer to March, the weather is warming up, which makes it the perfect time to get outside and explore Albany’s RiverFront Park among other outdoor activities!
Get outside!
Who said you have to wait for spring to enjoy warmer days, sunshine and outdoor fun? Not the town of Albany, that’s for sure!
In fact, the city’s popular six-acre RiverFront Park includes the 2.4-mile paved RiverFront Greenway Trail that connects the park to Cox Landing.
Visitors can bike or hike the trail while taking in scenic panoramas of the Flint River. They can even explore additional trails along the way like the Oxford Environmental Park Nature Trail.
This offshoot rustic trail is about a half-mile long providing up-close and personal views of the river as well as several wetlandareas.
Hungry from all that hiking, biking and exploring? Then get ready to find that perfect picnic spot on the spacious green lawn at RiverFront Park.
From there, make plans to give the kids plenty of time to play and explore Albany’s RiverFront Park by heading to Turtle Grove Park.
