Why This Is Included (Nearby, Not Greene County)
Coeymans NYS Boat Launch is in Coeymans, Albany County - just north of the Greene County line. It is not a Greene County launch. We include it because the Hudson does not stop at the county line: for paddlers around New Baltimore and Coxsackie planning a trip up the northern Hudson, a launch on this stretch is useful context. It belongs here only with clear nearby labeling.
Quick Verdict
This is a nearby NYS boat ramp on the tidal Hudson, north of Greene County. It is desk-researched - we have not field-visited it, and kayak-specific access, parking, and fees are unconfirmed. As an active trailer-boat ramp on a working river, it is not a calm-water default: plan around tide, wind, ramp traffic, and wakes. For a confirmed, developed launch nearby, Coxsackie Riverside Park (in Greene County) is the better starting point.
Launch and Parking Notes
Coeymans is referenced as a Hudson River access point in public paddling and Water Trail sources, which puts it on our radar for northern Hudson planning. What we have not confirmed:
- Kayak-specific access and the launch surface (this is a trailer-boat ramp)
- Parking capacity and ramp-use conflicts on busy days
- Restrooms and on-site facilities
- Any fees and current rules
Treat all of this as desk research until confirmed on the ground. If you have launched here, submit an update.
Hudson River Cautions
This is open tidal water, shared with motorized boats:
- Tide and current: The current reverses with the tide. Check the tide and paddle against the current first so the return is easier.
- Wind: Wind builds across open water and stacks up chop against the current. Check the marine forecast.
- Ramp traffic: As an active boat ramp, expect trailer boats and wakes. Stage your gear clear of the ramp lane and stay visible.
- Cold water: A year-round risk in spring and fall. Dress for the water temperature.

Northern Greene County Context
Coeymans sits just north of New Baltimore, which makes it relevant to the northern end of the Greene County Hudson corridor. It is a logical mainland launch for paddlers heading to Van Schaack Campsite at Bronck Island or planning a longer Water Trail leg. For the Greene County side of this stretch, see the Coxsackie / Hudson paddle cluster and Kayaking Near Coxsackie. For more nearby options, see Paddling Just Beyond Greene County.
What Still Needs Field Review

- Kayak-specific access and ramp surface
- Parking and ramp-use conflicts
- Restrooms, fees, and current rules
- Tide and current behavior at the ramp
