Looking to kayak 105 miles?

Then you need to sign up for the Great Hudson River Paddle in New York.

This is an eight day 105 mile kayaking and camping trip from Albany to Peekskill, N.Y. This event will be held Thursday, July 29 to Thursday, August 5, 2010.

According to their website:

This paddle is designed for kayakers of varied skill levels. You can sign up to paddle the entire 105 miles or paddle a portion of it.

You can sign up to be a thru-paddler (paddling the entire 105 miles), a getaway-paddler (paddling three or more days) or day-paddler (paddling for a day).

Kayakers will be camping out in state and local parks along the way or staying at a Hyde Park Inn.  Paddlers will also have an opportunity to visit heritage and cultural sites in local communities.

This Great Hudson River Paddle is being held to celebrate the 256 mile long Hudson River Greenway Water Trail, the improvement of public access to the Hudson River and the Champlain Canal, and the diversity and heritage of the riverside communities of the Hudson River Valley.
