Constitution Marsh is a 270-acre tidal wetland that you can access by paddling under the Metro-North train trestle just south of Cold Spring — but only when there is enough vertical clearance to pass under it.

Hi, I’m Dan! I built this site because I paddle on the Hudson with my family (that’s my 10-year-old son I’m towing through a rainstorm on our way from Cold Spring to Beacon). The site is free. If you find it helpful and want to support it, you can buy me a coffee.
