About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Lents Cove Park is a public boat launch facility located in Peekskill, Westchester County, on the Hudson River. The ramp features a single concrete launching slab with a floating dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The site offers ample parking for approximately 75 vehicles. Follow John Walsh Boulevard and watch for directional signs to reach the cove.
**Practical Considerations**
This is a solid option for accessing the Hudson River's tidal waters in this region. Boaters should note that larger vessels over 24 feet may experience difficulties launching during low tide conditions, so timing your visit around tidal cycles is recommended. The facility operates seasonally from April through October, 6 am to 11 pm. Paddlers launching here will encounter the Hudson's tidal influence typical of this lower reach of the river.
