Fishkill Creek

Ran the segment above Madame Brett Park when visiting parents for thanksgiving, missed the water from the rain by a day or two.

Put in below rapids after the dam, using a set of stairs from the trail down to the creek. Level was very low and the creek was rocky. I was able to surf a small consistent wave towards river left below the rapids after the dam. Very short, rocky run that was not very eventful, other than getting stuck on the rocks a couple times. Takes maybe 5 minutes to get through it. Ended at bridge in front of park parking lot. The creek is divided into three segments by the bridge supports. River right segment was a little too low and my paddling buddy got stuck on the rocks. Center section had enough water to run without issue. Took out river right at a small beach after the abandoned hat factory that had a path up to the main trail.

Will be exploring this again when I'm in the area if the level is a little higher. Also want to try to run the rapids above the dam at the park. Need to first investigate to see if there is a better way to get access to it other than paddling upstream.

Captured at high flood stage. Bronx river pkwy was under 10ft of water that day.

I took this pic at flood stage. To give you an idea, the Bronx rive pkwy in Westchester was under almost 10 feet of water.
