The Hudson Valley Paddling Association is a dedicated nonprofit organization that promotes water sports and environmental stewardship in the beautiful Hudson Valley region. We support educational initiatives and health programs related to kayaking and other paddling activities. Our mission is to foster a love for the water while ensuring the preservation of our natural resources. Join us in our efforts to make a positive impact on our community and environment. We also organize an annual race known as the Trojan, which brings together paddlers of all skill levels to celebrate our passion for paddling.
