Frear Park Conservancy is actively working on creating a multi-use hike/bike trail system in Frear Park.  The Frear Park Conservancy hopes to give the community a chance to recreate and enjoy the Park without interfering with the Golf Course and, in doing so, to adhere to the stipulation that the Frear family put on their 1917 donation of the land to the City of Troy: "The parcel of land be forever dedicated to public use". Trail development began in 2002 by dedicated volunteers. In 2003, Hudson River Valley Greenway Commission of NYS helped develop a formalized trail plan. Hundreds of volunteer hours have been spent on debris removal, initial trail markings, and trail development. Trail South of Wright Lake Bradley Lake Trail Piscawan Kill Falls Below is a representation of the proposed multi-use hike/bike trail system. The Wright Lake Trail is a wide, easy to moderate difficulty trail with views of historical remnants of Troy Waterworks infrastructure, including the 1859 valve house. View spillway/waterfalls from the Piscawan Kill. The trail connects with the Bradley Lake Trail, pictured above, which starts just off the golf cart path and continues north along the Piscawan Kill (seen above), with a view of the 1923 barrel arch bridge and several fishing access points.  While these two trails are largely open for use, sections of the connecting Perimeter Trail require more development. Soon, 200 year old Oak trees and lovely views of the golf course will be appreciated by trail users. With additional work, the hikers will enjoy a continuous, connecting, trail system in Frear Park.  This independent trail within Frear Park will eventually connect with the walking path through Oakwood Cemetary (within 1/4 mile walk), the Lansingburg Bike Path which runs parallel to Oakwood Cemetary, and the Greenway Trail System along the Hudson which is anticipated to be completed in the future.
