About This Access Site
The Poesten Kill take-out is located in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York, providing river access for paddlers finishing a whitewater run. As a take-out point rather than a launch site, this location serves kayakers and canoeists exiting the water after paddling upstream sections of the Poesten Kill. The site is positioned in the City of Troy at the coordinates 42.72030000, -73.69520000, making it a key recovery point for whitewater paddlers in the Capital Region of New York.

Paddlers using this take-out should be aware that it is specifically designed as an exit point for the Poesten Kill run. The Poesten Kill is known for its whitewater characteristics in certain sections, so paddlers should have appropriate skill levels for the run they complete before reaching this take-out. Standard whitewater safety practices apply, including checking water conditions and flow rates before launching upstream.
