Delmar: Prepare to be invaded!

Over the past year(ish) I've been noticing them dismantle the rails and then create the trail here whenever I drove over it on the thruway. I saw people walking on the trail just over the weekend. From the trail map it looks like the only parking is in Delmar with none on the Albany City side. I had always figured there would be some sort of small lot near the Port or something.

I can't seem to determine what the surface of the trail is. Is it paved or more like a crushed stone? Anyone?
