Hi


Put in Pleasant Valley NY and out at Greenvale Park in Poughkeepsie. Please see our website at Aquaticexplorers.com for more details. While there are no formal plans for drives back there are plenty of people who go back and forth. I'm sure we can get you back. I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks
Carlos

Just found out I will not be able to attend due to a prior commitment but I will get up there some time this year to paddle that river. It looked interesting from what I saw on Google Earth. Any good spots to kayak dive in that area when I am done?

Sorry you wont be able to attend. The river is great but nowhere deep enough for any diving. Thanks for your interest.

I was thinking more about diving in the Hudson. Anything in that area worth diving?

Couple of local lakes are a better bet!
