About This Access Site
The Haverstraw boat ramp provides public access to the Hudson River in Rockland County, offering a hard surface launch suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. Located on Route 9W near Dutch Street, this access point features parking for approximately 50 vehicles and trailers. The site is municipally managed; contact 914-737-7530 for current conditions, fees, and any seasonal restrictions.
As a major tidal estuary, the Hudson River in this section is wide and influenced by tidal flows rather than significant current. Paddlers should be aware of tidal conditions and plan accordingly—the river can range from calm to moderately choppy depending on weather and tide stage. This location is part of the Hudson River Greenway Water Trail, making it a good starting point for exploring the broader river corridor. Check locally for any launch fees, parking regulations, and current facility status before visiting.
