Hudson River Islands State Park 📍

Accessible only by boat, Hudson River Islands State Park facilities are concentrated on the islands of Gay’s Point and Stockport Middle Ground. These islands are fragile communities with many rare and endangered plant and animal species. Day-use facilities include picnic areas with grills and nature trail. 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.

Campsite in Morning

|

The mud shows how high the tide came in the early morning. The tide was particularly high due to the strong sothernly breeze. It's a good thing that I put the tent and kayak up pretty high. Also notice the bear bag I set up last night -- not for bears per se, but any other animal looking for some snacks during the night.
