Whether you know Albany well or not, this place should be your 1st stop to get info on city attractions & happenings. The woman who helped us had a wealth of knowledge on what to do, where to park at different attractions, & some history of the city. If you're a fan of the Hamilton musical, the Schulyers are a big part of this city with a special exhibit running at the Albany Institute of History & Art. Also their mansion is where Alexander married Elizabeth. Albany has colorful murals & dog sculptures at various spots around the city so the staffer gave us maps pertaining to them if we wanted to seek them out. The dog sculptures are now indoors for the winter so we only saw 2 but it would be fun to see these whimsical creations around the city in the spring. The visitor center itself has artwork displayed & a historical exhibit.

Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary is a unique and beautiful tidal marsh located in Putnam County, New York, and serves as vital natural habitat for the Hudson River Estuary. Explore our website constitution.audubon.org for more information. Our parking lot fits 8 cars maximum and can fill up quickly on weekends. Because of the limited space, these spots are reserved for Constitution Marsh visitors only. Turn right from the parking lot, walk down the gravel driveway, and begin the Blue Trail over the rocky hill out to the boardwalk to view the marsh. The trail is open dawn to dusk every day. The Visitor Center is open on weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day from 9am to 4pm. No fee required. No dogs allowed.

Note: There are only eight parking spots for cars and no alternative parking nearby. You may have to come back at another time if all spots are full. You walk down a private road, open to hikers, to the trail head at the education center. From there the little hike starts over some steep and rocky ground, already offering some beautiful views over the marshes before you go down again to enter them over a wooden bridge. With crossing the bridge you’re entering the marshes, having the possibility to walk a small circle on wooden walkways. It’s beautiful and relaxing as with only so little parking spots you don’t have to expect many people to be there. If you remain for a little while you may see muskrats and different birds. The total distance from the parking area and back is 1.2 miles.
