Thacher Park is the closest substantial chunk of public land near Albany. It's signature feature is an escarpment of hundred foot tall cliffs, with a walk that descends to the cliff base, before ascending back on the last 50 feet of the historically important Indain Ladder trail.
Despite being operated by the New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation, most of the Indian Ladder trail (the only other easy access below the cliffs), while on state park land, is closed off to the public.
And oh yes; the rest is closed six months of the year, including Easter weekend.
So go enjoy the view from the parking lot, but don't try walking to what is truly unique about this fabulous area.
