With the NYCDEP having completed the repairs to the Gilboa Dam at the Schoharie Reservoir in late December 2006, water transfers have resumed normal operation as per NYSDEC regulations Part 670. After the April 2005 flood and the state of emergency in 2006 with the dam repairs we are anticipating more consistent water levels on the Esopus Creek for the 2007 season. The Town Tinker's operational Esopus tubing levels are between 4 feet - 6 feet on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage at Coldbrook. For canoeing and kayaking, Esopus levels of 5 feet and above make for optimum paddling. By clicking on the USGS link below, and by looking at the graph with the header "Gage height, feet" (last graph on the page), then you can find the most current level of the water on the Esopus Creek.
