Corning Preserve Boat Launch
A Hudson River launch in downtown Albany with paved access, nearby trails, and direct entry to the city’s waterfront.
What to know before you go
Corning Preserve Boat Launch gives kayakers and other paddlers direct access to the Hudson River from Albany’s riverfront. The launch sits near the city’s walking and biking trails, the Albany Rowing Center, and the broader Corning Preserve waterfront area.
This is a convenient urban launch if you want to paddle the Hudson without leaving the city, but expect a larger river environment with current, wind, and motorboat traffic. Check conditions before heading out and stay visible around the main channel.
