Anchor Diamond, Ballston Spa is a 2.4 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Ballston Lake, New York that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
A winters walk on hard packed snow on relatively flat ground through the woods. Only the occasional whif of cow manure in the air.
Beautiful, flat trails. Historical sites are a bonus. Over 4 miles of walking if you hit all of the loops. Well maintained with bridges and walkways where it might get muddy. Watch for roots and rocks, especially with the leaves covering the ground.
Nice trail. No hills. Lots of tree roots and some mud to maneuver around. The mansion history is interesting.
