O'Day Mariner Swartswood Lake
I was curious about Stony point NY area on the Hudson. Is the sailing nice? How are the marinas there ? Any good sailboat marinas?
Just looking for new areas to sail that are kind of close to home.

looks like there are lots of marinas up there on both sides of the Hudson. Maybe search for Google reviews to gauge them.

I think there are some members here on SBO that have their boats at Stoney Point but I don't recall who they are. Looking at where you are, have you tried Lake Wallenpaupack? (Am I spelling that right?). I used to take my trailerable there so sail sometimes. It has a free public ramp you can launch from. It's not s bad lake to sail on.

While I'm close to Stoney Point I don't know much about the marina there. It is located in a fairly wide section of the Hudson. You may want to be mindful of the tides but it should be a decent area to sail. I have no idea what kind of launch facilities they have there.

Down lower on the river, there is a public launch under the George Washington bridge, at least there used to be. I haven't looked in quite a few years.
