Hudson River kayaking links:

Hey, it is COLD out there on the Hudson - go to the Everglades!

Ibis Tours is not running tours on the Hudson, but we don't want you to miss out..  While much of the Hudson is wide and flanked by factories and Metro-North trains whizzing by, kayaking around New York City is an exciting way to see the sights; maybe even paddle out to the Statue of Liberty.   For the truly adventurous, how about a paddle AROUND Manhattan Island.  To the north, another great part of the river to explore is the Hudson Highlands around Peekskill and Cold Springs.
