Rising mist reveals the Mohawk River

The wispy, white fog rising over the dark, calm Mohawk River shimmering against a brightening sky was a great sight this morning. Great views of the Mohawk River are available at numerous public places in Clifton Park: from various locations within the nearly 700-acre Vischer Ferry Nature & Historic Preserve (VFNHP); from the end of Ferry Drive; along the Towpath Trail atop an historic Erie Canal towpath route (from Ferry Drive heading west to the end of Sugar Hill Road, as well as from Ferry Drive heading east into the VFNHP); from the Town of Clifton Park's Mohawk Landing nature preserve which is next door to Riverview Orchards; and cycling and driving along Riverview Road from numerous vantages. You can also glimpse the Mohawk River valley atop Sugar Hill Road amidst the orchards and farms along Sugar Hill Road. Where is your favorite view of the Mohawk River?

  1. Wow! Sunrise today was spectacular. The peach color above the grey and the leaves just starting to break out in early yellows. At just about 6:45 AM an incoming plane caught the early sunlight and appeared like a comet. And I didn't have my camera. Somethings on the Mohawk Towpath Byway you just have to be there to believe it.
