Veterans Park

Veterans Park in Verplanck offers a public boat ramp for access to the Hudson River in Westchester County. The facility provides a hard-surface launch suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels. This access point is convenient for paddlers looking to explore the Hudson River's middle sections, which range from moderate current to tidal influences depending on location and season.

Visitors should plan ahead by confirming current parking availability, facilities, and any applicable fees or restrictions by contacting the local parks department or checking recent trip reports from paddlers who've used the site. As with all Hudson River launches, be aware of tidal conditions, river traffic, and weather before departing. The Hudson is a working waterway with significant barge and commercial traffic, so paddlers should stay alert and follow river navigation rules.
