Local knowledge is best viewed through the eyes of the
people who make their homes and their living along upstate
New York’s inland waterways. Here Captain Marla Hodge
pilots the paddlewheel tour boat Caldwell Belle (www.
mohawkmaidencruises.com) up a peaceful stretch of the Hudson
near Schuylerville. Whether you visit this area aboard your boat
or someone else’s, there’s plenty to see and do here!
A picture truly can convey a thousand words…and quite a
few places for boaters to stop! The Water’s Edge Lighthouse
Restaurant (2 Freemans Bridge Rd, Glenville, NY 12302, (518)
370-5300,
www.thewatersedgelighthouse.com) is a wonderful
place for an evening meal, with an added bonus – the new
Homewood Suites hotel (foreground) and the massive Rivers
Casino / Mohawk Harbor complex just behind the bridge. Visit

information about these facilities.
