Welcome to Schodack Island where a wide variety of outdoor activities are available for adventure and fun; and now CAMPING!
Schodack Island State Park sits off the eastern shore of the Hudson River just south of Albany off of Route 9J. Approximately seven miles of Hudson River and Schodack Creek shoreline bound the 1,052-acre day-use facility. The park has been designated a State Estuary, and a portion of the park shelters a Bird Conservation Area (BCA) that is home to bald eagles, cerulean warblers, blue birds and blue herons that nest in the cottonwood trees. Eight miles of multi-use trails wind through a variety of ecological communities. In addition the park offers an improved bike trail, a volleyball net, horseshoes, a playground, numerous picnic areas, a boat launch and a kayak/canoe launch site. New this year! 67 campsites, 43 of which have 50 amp power! In the fall we celebrate by having a fall festival. Lots of fun and games for the children and adults. In the winter you can enjoy activities including snowshoeing, x/country skiing, and ice skating. Friday night skating under the lights, weather permitting.
The Park is open year round in daylight hours. The comfort station is also open year round and is heated during the winter months.
