Schroon RiverRiver Street public access in Warrensburg to the small park above the next bridge toward Thurman Station
A short, distinct Schroon River whitewater reach through Warrensburg from the River Street public canoe access to the small park above the next bridge toward Thurman Station. American Whitewater describes the Class II–III character and bridge/dam context, while the current Warrensburg canoe-access inventory names River Street and nearby Schroon access sites. The card is planning-only because the exact landing, parking, and boundary must be confirmed on site.

Access notes and hazards
Access caveats
- River Street is identified as a Schroon River canoe access, but confirm the exact public carry and parking area rather than using a private waterfront or obstructing the street.
- The small-park endpoint is described by American Whitewater and represented by a geometry-derived anchor. Confirm the public landing, downstream boundary, parking, and current signage in daylight.
- Warrensburg also lists below Middletown Bridge and County Home Bridge access sites, but they are not substituted for the bounded endpoints here. Any extension needs its own route and hazard review.
- Do not approach or portage a dam from a private bank. If the feature, access, or downstream boundary is unclear, turn around at the last confirmed legal exit.
Watch for
- USGS 01317000 unavailable, rapidly rising, or inconsistent with the local visual; no numeric full-route threshold is asserted
- continuous Class II–III water, bridge constrictions, shallow rock, wood, cold water, private shoreline, and a failed rescue margin
- River Street parking/carry, small-park landing, town events, dam boundaries, downstream continuation, weather, and daylight

- Camping postureNearby road-access basecamp only
Nearby DEC camping is separate from the river access and does not authorize camping on the short urban whitewater reach.
- Approved route imageSchroon River USGS Riverbank station context photo
