What's New
Supermoon Paddle
The full moon this week is called a Supermoon. "The moon will appear bigger and brighter, and be closer to Earth than it's been all year." No better place to be than paddling from Hudson River. Thursday at Saugerties, Friday at Norrie.
Fridays@Norrie
A few programs have been added for our Fridays@Norrie series. Let us know what else you would want on Fridays at Norrie.
Saugerties Evening Programs
We are offering a few programs from the Saugerties, Glasco area on the Hudson. These will be after work programs and include both tours and instructional programs. See Upcoming Events or the calendar for dates. Space is very limited. $30 includes equipment or $20 if you bring your own equipment.
Boat Control Workshop
Learn new skills or brush up on you old skills at our Saugerties Skill Session on June 26. It's easy to do a forward stroke and a sweep stroke but there is more to control skills. Be ready to get your edge on. $30 includes equipment or $20 if you bring your own equipment. Space is very limited.
Norrie Short Tours
Most Saturdays and Sundays we run the Norrie Short Tour from the Norrie Point Paddlesport Center. This program is designed for people with limited or no paddling experience. Depending on the conditions of the day, exploring Black Creek, Esopus Island, and Mills Mansion are all possibilities, as well as sighting the occasional Bald Eagle.
Thursday Night Skill Sessions
Thursday Skill Sessions will start on June 27. Get on the water for a few hours to paddle, learn new skills, brush up on your own skills and help others improve their paddling skills. A great way to end the day and enjoy the sunset on the Hudson River. No Session on July 4th.
