Registration is now open for two amazing *FREE* excursions- and spots will fill up fast!!

🚶‍♀️🚤 Hikes & History Cruises
We're partnering with Mohawk Maiden Cruises for our most popular excursion again this summer! Explore Hudson Crossing Park by land and water. You'll enjoy a guided walk through the park, and a scenic canal cruise to discover the history, wildlife, and restoration of the Champlain Canal.

⚓ Lock Through the Canal (New!)
Step aboard for a one-of-a-kind journey through Lock C5. Travel through the lock and feel the moment as the boat is raised and lowered, while learning how this system works from Captain Marla herself.

✨ Both programs are free thanks to a generous grant from the NYS Canal Corporation’s On the Canals program
♿ All abilities and disabilities are welcome. Please go to https://www.hudsoncrossingpark.org/accessibility or email [email protected] for specific accessibility questions.

⚠️ Registration is required and space is limited

We've gotten off on a slower start than we hoped as heavy rains and flooding conditions delayed the opening of the Canal System, but the 2025 season has finally begun. While the Caldwell Belle is for sale and will only be used on a limited basis later in the season, we are excited to announce the ad...
