Beacon Harbor

Toughman Triathlon Sept. 7 at Croton Point Beach. Check Hudson River water quality at Croton Point!

The Beacon Harbor sampling site has recreational boating, kayaking, and fishing. There is a seasonal public "river pool" to the north, and a storm drain overflow in the vicinity.

Hudson Riverkeeper has sampled at this location since 2008 from May through October. Monthly testing is not frequent enough to make a safe swimming determination. Riverkeeper is advocating for high frequency testing and data reporting along the Hudson River wherever the public swims, boats and fishes. To see historic data at this location go to www.riverkeeper.org or directly to http://bit.ly/BeaconHarbor
