Powerhouse Take-out

Powerhouse Take-out is a whitewater take-out access point located on the Hoosic River in the Town of Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, New York. This site serves as an egress point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on the Hoosic, making it an essential access for kayakers and canoeists running the river. The take-out provides a designated location for boaters to exit the water and access their vehicles after paddling downstream sections of the river.

The Hoosic River in this area flows with characteristics typical of northeastern whitewater streams. Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for the specific conditions of the Hoosic and have appropriate skills for the sections they've paddled. As a dedicated whitewater take-out, this site is primarily designed for kayaks and canoes rather than motorized vessels. Access and parking details should be confirmed before planning your trip, as facilities at whitewater access points can vary seasonally and may be subject to local regulations.
