New neighborhoods between two rivers and two historic canals.

The Mohawk River forms Halfmoon's southern border and the Hudson River its eastern border. Lighthouse Park sits on Hudson River Road, and the hamlet of Crescent sits where Route 9 crosses the Mohawk into Colonie. The Erie Canal runs along the south side of town.
The town's section of the trail follows the old Champlain Canal toward Mechanicville, with about 2 miles of stone dust path for walking and biking. Old Locks 7 and 8 and original 1823 canal walls are still visible.
The Town of Halfmoon runs its main town park with walking trails and a spray park, and the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library serves both towns.
I-87, the Northway, runs along the western edge of town and crosses the Mohawk into Colonie on the Thaddeus Kosciusko Bridge. Route 9 parallels it, and Route 146 runs east to west.
The Mohawk Towpath Scenic Byway follows the Mohawk through Crescent. The Champlain Canalway Trail in Halfmoon was named a National Recreation Trail in 2009.
