     A pretty lake like Philmont Reservoir in the vicinity of Acker Pond is a great place to stop by, and camping is available at Camp Waubeeka. Acker Pond gets a common amount of yearly rain; the month of May is the wettest with most of the rain while January is mostly the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. Kinderhook Creek is a pleasant whitewater spot next to Acker Pond. Just can't get enough of Acker Pond. There are nice sites to explore along the Indian  
   Trail, and after a long day outdoors St Charles Hotel is a good site to spend a night or two.
This lake is so wonderful. You'll meet a lot of people from Hudson here, and if you need a site to stay Red Carpet Inn Coxsackie is a glorious choice. Going for a hike on the Northrop Trail is always a perfect adventure; a delightful site to camp here at Acker Pond is Fox Hill Camping Area. The warmest time of the year brings highs in the 80's to Acker Pond, and
 
               during summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. Throughout the winter this place gets highs in the 30's; night lows in the 0's for Acker Pond.
If you don’t have a problem getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Bash Bish Brook; don't leave Acker Pond without first going for a hike along the Elbow Trail. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Catamount while you're here, and do visit Stever Pond, it's a wonderful lake.

MORE STUFF NEARBY:

Kinderhook Creek
There is a lot to run on the Kinderhook above Valatie.  In fact, it can be run all the way from above E. Nassau.  At E. Nassau, a nice boulder garden class II-III proceeds, with water attractions all the way to Valatie.  Getting out at Valatie is difficult but necessary before the dam....There are two impassable waterfalls 60 plus feet high about two miles south of the Valatie water fall. There is no viable way around these falls without climbing down steep cliffs. We stopped about a half mile above the two stuyvesant falls. My understanding is there are old mill dams before you get to stockport. Somebody gave you really bad dangerous info....

Roeliff Jansen Kill River
14 miles away
Hey, for anyone interested in kyaking or Canoeing down the Ro-Jan Kill beware: There are many downed trees, which in an instant could pin you down and end your life. No one maintains this water way, and in many sections you will be forced by naturally occurring dams to get out of your canoe, or kyak and walk you and your vessel down stream through thickets of nettle. Personally I completed a trip down this beautiful stream unaware of the many deadly stimuli. So if in the near future you plan to get away from everything, just take note to the above....

Roeliff Jansen Kill River
18 miles away
I kayaked this stretch the day after a big rainstorm in a recreational kayak and it was considerably more difficult than the review makes it out to be. Several downed trees and a huge beaver dam were the worst obstacles. Bingham Mills to Dales Bridge has some dangerous spots. Dales Bridge to the Hudson River is considerably tamer but only about a 40 minute trip. I kayaked it in early June 2006....
