Esopus Creek Warning 06/13/11 Attention all Town Tinker Tube Rental Customers and Esopus Creek White Water users. The section of the Esopus Creek from Phoenicia to Mt. Tremper (The Town Tinker Novice Course) will remain closed to our tubing customers due to extremely dangerous debris. Approximately half way through the course there are large trees blocking both left and right channels around the island about 2 miles down stream. The left channel poses a serious threat created by a number of trees with their root structures forming strainers in the fast current. Removal of these hazards may not be possible. The Town Tinker is posting this warning to notify all white water users of the potential danger. Anyone using this section of the Esopus Creek should use extreme caution. Always call and ask for present day conditions – (845) 688-5553 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.
