Geocache Description:

A water-accessible (only) cache on the Croton River a short distance from the put-in.

This is the first in a series of kayak/watercraft caches on the Croton River. It is placed a short paddle from the put-in described below at the mouth of the river. The cache is a 35 mm film canister that should be accessible from your kayak/watercraft. The cache was placed when the tide was near its peak, but it should also be easily within reach at low tide. Please be gentle with the cache and its mounting "hardware". The cache has a small pencil, but, as always, it is best if you BYOP. You can find information on the timing of the tides at http://www.hudsonriver.com/hudson-river-tidal-charts The variation this far up the Hudson is only a few feet. At low tide, some mud flats may be exposed, but the middle of the river can still be easily navigated. I suggest you put in at the mouth of the river near the Croton Train Station (see waypoint). This is one of my favorite put-ins on the Hudson as you can choose between many different options for paddling depending on your mood. The bay at the mouth of the river is well-protected by the railroad causeway and provides opportunities for bird watching. I enjoy paddling up the river, though it is not a particularly long trip. If you are up for more adventure you can paddle from the put-in under the railway and out onto the Hudson River and around Croton Point.
