The Nature of Things

Finding your way along the Hudson

April

Looking for boating and fishing access spots along the Hudson River? The state today released maps showing 91 such spots along more than 100 miles of river, from Troy to Yonkers. The maps from the state Department of Environmental Conservation are interactive, providing information on what kind of boats can be launched there, directions, etc.

“After more than 30 years of successful environmental initiatives to reverse generations of pollution and neglect, the Hudson River Estuary is again attracting anglers, naturalists and artists to its shores,” DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis said. “Whether you hope to plan a trip this weekend, or for the 2009 Quadricentennial celebration, these new maps will be a helpful tool for anglers, hunters, bird watchers, boaters, history buffs and many others to enjoy the opportunities the Hudson River has to offer.”

The Quadricentennial, of course, is a reference to the 2009 Hudson-Fulton-Champlain celebration.
