Kingston - Rondout Creek

Location: Hudson River
Mile Marker: 90.7
Lat / Lon: N 41° 53.855' / W 074° 01.000'

Description:
Proceed west 3.6 miles up Rondout Creek. Caution: You will pass under 3 fixed bridges, and the first one at 1.3 miles is only 56 feet. Proceed past Gumaer Island and anchor south of the channel just before the low fixed bridge in 8-10 feet. Usually very busy on weekends and holidays. Mooring balls have taken up a lot of the anchorage. Several marinas, a visitors center and the city docks are located on this creek. Dinghy dock at Lou's Boat Basin (small fee). In addition, there are many boutiques, craft stores and restaurants/pubs close by. Two restaurants in embayment on north shore prior to railroad bridge. Nights can be noisy. Cell service available.

Parts of this section of the river were deeper than what was marked in the charts. Shallow downstream from the last green can to around the island, but plenty of water for the width of the river between that can and the bridge.
Easy dingy ride back down river to Kingston for lots of shops and restaurants.
