Fishing is popular and transient camping is allowed.

Please Note: There are no docks. Boats must be moored off the island or visitors can bring their kayaks/canoes on shore. It is a first come first serve park for camping. There is no entrance fee and no reservations are needed.

While the Hudson River can be choppy and filled with noisy motorboat traffic, the backside of Middle Stockport Island is totally placid and quiet, a estuary rarely visited except by kayakers or other small boats. The center of the river is here is 30 feet deep, but there are also many sand bars and shallow areas around here.
