Kayak the Hudson

It was pretty densely forested, with plenty of poison ivy to go along with it.

No danger of getting wet from high tide here, although even the campsite was only 5-6 inches above the high tide of last night. Most of the campsites on this island are not particularly high above the high tide.

On the backside of Middlestock Port Island.

Due to the incredible wake those large freighters make, and to conserve energy, they move very slow on the Hudson River.

I have no idea what that wooden structure is at the end of the point, but the river is so shallow here, that especially at low tide, you'll bottom out your kayak. Gays' Point has about 20 campsites on it, all grouped together along the eastern side, that is deep enough for most power boats to more within 20 feet of the shore.
