Directions to our Canoe & Kayak Center

Our Canoe & Kayak Center is located in lovely Thurman Station, right on the shore of the Hudson River. It's a great place to take your first trip in a kayak or canoe, or to come back to year after year. You don't need reservations, but you can call ahead to make sure we have the boats you want for that day. If you do reserve, we hold your reservation for one hour, after which we will send the boats out. Keep in mind the following details: we launch Trip 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Trip 2 to Luzerne from 10 a.m. to noon. If we can't get your group headed down by these times, we will not launch you, so show up with plenty of time to get on the water.
