Hudson River Recreation - Tarrytown Lakes

Paddling lends itself to quiet afternoons on the water, especially where quiet stretches of river edge against parkland. Hudson River Recreation in Tarrytown keeps that tradition alive out of Tarrytown Lakes Park, putting canoes and kayaks within arm’s reach on Old Saw Mill River Road. Guided tours on weekends highlight hidden coves, while weekday rentals allow solo or group excursions; anglers use the platforms at dawn, photographers linger near sunrise coves, and families test stable sit-on-tops. If you prefer fitness paddles, the full moon cruises let you trade bustle for bioluminescence after office hours.

Park at Tarrytown Lakes Park, Old Saw Mill River Rd, Tarrytown, NY 10591, and head straight to the dock to check gear before sliding onto the glassy surface.
