Gauge Conditions

Croton River at New Croton DAM near Croton-on-Hudson NY Downstream Primary
Runnable: 2.5 – 7.0 FT
Data from American Whitewater & USGS

Description

Nice eddy shear lines just above dam.
First dam 2 feet. Debris collects below dam. Route and flow bypasses dam on river right. Nice elevator move eddy at top.
As of 2022, log crosses diversion canal at right of low-dam (first dam on run) at water department. It's visable if you peak down the canal, and avoidable but lots of flow going under it and a trapped log away from being a death trap.

Dam can be boofed or portaged at river right. You can look over the lip at normal levels to pick a spot with few rocks or recirc by grabbing the concrete abutment at right.
