Guided Kayak Tour: Tivoli Bays
Tivoli Bays
Hudson River
Encompassing approximately 1700 acres, the Tivoli Bays are large freshwater tidal marshes on the Hudson River surrounded by undeveloped land. This area includes the North Bay which is an extensive marsh cut by meandering tidal creeks and fringed by tidal swamps and; the South Bay, a large, shallow cove with mudflats exposed at low tide; several islands; and two tributary streams.
The site is designated by the Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and is also considered an important spawning and/or nursery ground for a variety of freshwater fish species.
Launch: Follow Route 78 (Broadway) west off of Route 9G through the town of Tivoli and across the tracks to the launch. Cross tracks at signaled crossing, use caution. Park well away from the tracks and park clear of the
ramp area.
Weather and water conditions will dictate a mid-tour landing point.
