Adirondack Mountain Club High Peaks Trails Map Pack by Tony Goodwin - 9781931951258
Not off the top of my head as I'm fairly new here and plan to get more into hiking the area this summer season. However, I find www.localhikes.com to be a good resource for finding hikes to do subsequent research on. Also, the ADK Trails (Forest Preserve Series) are good guides (e.g., Amazon Link).
A very short hike would be Vroman's Nose a little SE of Albany. A fairly nice (but flat) trail is around Peeble's Island NE of Albany. Otherwise, the Lake George area ADKs would be a good bet for day hikes.
Good luck and hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I comes along.
There are no clean water sources along the way. There are a few brooks but the water is not 100% safe (we didn't risk drinking from them)...its really a nonissue if you just plan it out a little better than we did.
Edit: I should add that we didn't see any clean water sources and there were none indicated on the map I had, but I could still be mistaken.
Edit2: Its an awesome hike and the views are spectacular!
Edit3: If you don't have it already, I think the ADK Mountain Club High Peaks guide is worth the money. Available on Amazon
