    What a nice lake Pikes Pond is. At Pikes Pond during the long summer days highs are in the 80's. When the night sets in temperatures sink down into the 60's. For the duration of the winter highs are typically in the 30's, and nighttime lows in the 10's for Pikes Pond. This lake is so wonderful. Lots of people from Hudson come to Pikes Pond, and a splendid place to camp here at Pikes Pond is Dingman's Campgrounds. If you need a place to stay Knights Inn Castleton  
   on Hudson/Schodack is a perfect choice, and you'll find a scenic lake called Rendert Pond.
Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Poesten Kill River, and don't leave Pikes Pond without first going for a hike along the Southeast Hollow Trail. Jiminy Peak is a splendid local ski area, and Burden Lake Country Club is a golf course nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Camping at Alps Family Campground is always a great experience,
 
               and some of the water nearby flows, like Alder Brook.

Kinderhook Creek
17 miles away
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....
