Trip tip: Islands
Paddle this three mile reach of the Hudson River and discover a beautiful natural environment. The current is slow and the surface of the water is calm most of the time. This reach is below the Spier Falls dam to the west and dammed to the east by Sherman Island Hydro Plant. If you paddle east you will be rewarded with an excellent view of Glens Falls and beyond as the river drops over the falls. There are also opportunities to paddle around some islands and into a small cove. Fishing is to be a popular activity in this area.
