Long Dock Park Opens

We missed it. We rode our bikes through the area a week before, but the day of the opening, July 9th, we hit the beach instead. 

I went there the next day with Finn and snapped a few pictures of the kayak launch area. 

The kayak launch is just to Finn's left. Behind him, to his right, is the old Dutchess Boat Club.

At last, the kayak launch area.

An interesting sign that greets you in the parking area. I wonder who this pissed off among the more conservative visitors.

This is the Scenic Hudson River Center for arts and environmental education, near the entrance to the park.

Here is a video from in front of the kayak launch.
