What are the tidal currents in the Hudson River?
The estuary usually has two high and two low tides in twenty-four hours. With this rise and fall come changes in the direction of flow. In general, a rising tide is accompanied by a flood current flowing north towards Troy, a falling tide by an ebb current flowing seaward.
What is the current speed of the Hudson River?
The low tide in the Hudson is just like the trough between two massive ocean waves. At its maximum, the current moved at 2.44 knots. This is almost 3 miles per hour. A kayak that travels 4 miles in an hour can be severely affected by such a current.
Important Reminder before your Paddle Adventure.
Please arrive at the paddle start location 20 minutes prior to the tour's commencement. Our trips are timed according to the river's tide and currents, ensuring an optimal experience. We'll be hitting the river paddling right at the start time. Thank you!
