Description:
This is a great venue for beginning and skilled paddlers to experience the Hudson River. On this tour we paddle south, past “Kidd Rock”, a large rock outcropping that was, according to legend, used by the infamous pirate Captain Kidd for illegal trading activities with local landowner Frederick Philipse. The trip continues past the historic 1883 Tarrytown Lighthouse, which is on the National Register of Historic Places and once protected steamships from the shoals along the eastern shore of the river. We will then head towards the Tappan Zee Bridge, a three-mile long cantilever style span that links Westchester and Rockland Counties. On a clear day, the Manhattan skyline is visible from this area of the river. This is our most popular tour and a fantastic way to get into kayaking. If the tide allows we may be able to paddle up the Pocantico River to see the old mill at Philipsburg Manor from a whole different perspective.
