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.

Heading Up Hudson River

In the distance is Gays' Point, which is why you can see the motor boats moored out in front of it. Also, there are several campsites, not in site here, in the foreground, on Middle Stockport Island. The campsites on Middle Stockport are much more private and larger then Gays' Point.

Also there is a popular state kayak put in and boat launch. Many people kayak around Middle Stockport Island from this point rather then come in from Coxscakie to avoid crossing the main channel of the river, that can be awful choppy and full of motorboat traffic.
