Last year’s PowerPoint provided much information about the Hudson River and should still be utilized

After the May E2C program, some of us explored the Hudson near Piermont by kayak, and enjoyed an “interesting” example of spring tides which has been preserved in our “Virtual Tours” section

Our few hours on the river were nice, but some people undertake much more adventurous expeditions, such as the “Great Hudson River Paddle 2002”

One of the most interesting ways to explore the Hudson for non-paddlers is aboard the “Clearwater”

During the Revolutionary War, both sides saw control of the Hudson as key to victory. The Americans constructed a Great Chain across the river to keep British ships from using it. Some links from the Chain are now on display in the US Military Academy at West Point. Of course, control of West Point itself was the object of Benedict Arnold’s treason.

Another interesting place to learn about local geology and history is at the Trailside Museum, Bear Mountain State Park

We who have an orientation toward the Lower Hudson sometimes tend to overlook other sections of the river, but the Newburgh Library has a great collection of electronic and print materials about the Hudson
