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.

Nutten Hook – Stockport Middle Ground

|

Have you have paddled out from Stockport Station boat launch to Stockport Middle Ground or Nutten Hook and camped at the free, primitive campground on the Hudson River? Just watch for the tides, they can make it difficult to get in and out of the Stockport Station Kayak Launch.
