Thank goodness for Google! My son has challenged me to plan a trip from Manhattan to Fishkill, at the end of which, we are to attend a Hudson Valley Renegades game in Wappingers Falls. Any expert opinions out there on just how long a trip like this will take? With the tidal changes and distance, I'm figuring at least two days, starting out on a Friday late afternoon. Very open to all suggestions, including where to camp out/stay Friday and Saturday nights (looking to the parkland at Croton on the Hudson as one stop. All thoughts are well appreciated. Will also need info on where we can rent equipment, including a 16 foot, 2 person, ruddered kayak with ample enough space to stow our gear/food items. Thanks!

I have found the hardest part of kayaking is accessing the Hudson River. Accessible launch sites such as Annesville near Peekskill are all too rare. Information such as this is important and must be included. The river is supposed to be for all citizens, those that can walk and those that use a wheelchair. Wheelchair Access
