About This Access Site
The Glenville boat ramp is located at 300 Maalwyck Park Road (NY Highway 5) in Schenectady County, positioned at the end of Freeman's Bridge off NY Route 50 south. This site offers a rocky beach landing with portable toilets, picnic tables, tie-up walls, and parking. The access point is wheelchair accessible to the top of the ramp, with accessible parking and facilities available.

The Mohawk River at this location is a large, flowing waterway (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of approximately 3,455 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 2.87 feet per second. The moderate gradient of 1.7 feet per mile gives paddlers and boaters a steady current without extreme conditions. This section is suitable for various water activities, though paddlers should be prepared for consistent river flow and plan accordingly.

**Note:** Check current conditions and any seasonal closures before visiting, as access sites may be temporarily closed for maintenance or improvements.
