Lock 4 Takeout is a whitewater take-out access point on the Hoosic River in the Town of Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, New York. This site serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on the Hoosic and provides a river-level exit point for kayakers and canoeists. As a dedicated take-out location, it is designed specifically for users finishing their downstream paddling trips rather than launching new ones.
The Hoosic River in this region features moving water conditions typical of whitewater sections, making this take-out particularly useful for intermediate to advanced paddlers running the upper Hoosic watershed. Users should be aware of river conditions and water levels before planning trips that end at this location, as access and ease of take-out can vary seasonally.
