Stockport Flats (Ice House Road Parking Lot)

Stockport Flats is the northernmost site of the Hudson River Reserve, offering hiking along freshwater wetlands to the historic ruins of the Scott ice house at Nutten Hook, once the largest ice house on the Hudson, as well as boat access to the Hudson River Islands State Park. Located just north of the town of Hudson, Stockport Flats provides an important site for wetland research and monitoring as well as preserving historic and natural resources. When you visit, learn about the historic ice harvesting industry through interpretive panels along the trail to the Scott ice house. Enjoy picnicking at the ice house itself or at an accessible gazebo with a river view near the boat launch area. The Hudson River Islands State Park, accessible only by boat, protects rare and important ecosystems as well as preserving these natural spaces for recreation and enjoyment. The park has day-use facilities including trails and a picnic area with grills, and short-term camping.
