The Riparius to the Glen section of the Hudson River is a wide open and mature piece of the Hudson River.
Once you see a small bridge on river right with Mill creek flowing under it be prepared for the Z ledges rapid.
The rapid is entered left of center and followed up with a 'Z' move around pour overs.
In high water avoid the pour over on river right.
After several other rapids you will notice a large rock island in the center of the river. Take the narrower channel on river right to set up for a good surfing wave. Just above the Route 28 bridge is another good surfing wave on river left about 60 yards upstream.
One last rapid remains about a quarter of a mile below the bridge with a sneak route on river left.
Take out is river right with a short walk through the tick infested woods of poison ivy.
