The gauge limits are a rough guess, based on historical streamflows. If you have good beta on runnable levels, please add a comment.
The trip can be shortened by taking out at the park seen on river left downstream from the I-87 Northway bridge over the Hudson. To access the park, head east from Exit 18 on Main Street and take the immediate right onto Boom Road. Follow Boom Road until it terminates at the boat launch on the river (43.263970N,73.674647W).
