Not 1950s, 1850s through 1930

Just noticed at around 59:23 there was a rat running around behind to the right…welcome to da Bronx! Ha ha

Can’t thank you enough for exploring NY as I was brought up in Brooklyn and me and my friends were adventures and explored many places on land. I just joined you channel and love it. Question Mat, do you have a video of how you mount your cameras and how you pan it as your paddling. Congrats Matt on your monetization with KZbin. Take care my friend, be safe out there.

I’m from the Bronx, I find this video very interesting!

Really interesting video

Another nice place to put in is Piermont, NY, if not for YT video but just a serene paddle. You start off in a maze of passages between marshes. In springtime there are nesting waterfowl.

The footage of sunset with the barge heading up to Poughkeepsie was stunning!

🌕👣🍳🏕🛤

😉👍yeah.

this is the video i needed! thank you so much!

Nice walk ,years ago I use to park at Robert Moses and walk to Ocean Beach .Get a Pina coloda and walk back .I did it one summer alot.lol...

I didn't know you were sick. Glad you're feeling better! I don't think it was covid... more likely the result of you walking barefoot in the Bronx River. Locals call it the Bronx River Rabies. Thanks for another relaxing video!

I don´t thinks its creapy. I´m impressed by how nature is reclaiming the space.

Matt from 2 feet outdoors, taking us to places most of us would never have heard or gone to! Great video!

i was stationed at Ft Hamilton NY in the late 80's. Coney Island water was brown. so nice to see the waters improved as is the Hudson river. that was polluted when I was a kid....and sludge on brave/drinking. teen swimmers......

thank you for picking up trash...Awesome. Hope you wear gloves. a hiker posted picking up trash after the slob/mob of leaf peepers in NH a couple weeks ago. But she didnot wear gloves. actually picked up dirty diapers..... Awesome videos.

Wow great video Matt thanks for taking us along. Glad your feeling better . And a deer allowed you to touch it too 😮 once again great video

I visited the "Ling" several times in the past when it was still open to the public for self guided tours , it is really a shame to see what time and vandalism has done to a gallant ship !

Beautiful kayaking, boat ride and tour!! That area is so wonderful I have driven up and down the Hudson a few times, through the Catskills, stayed there a lot, also NYC.. So much variety, beauty and history.. Thankful you are doing better it is so life affirming recovering from a sickness and it was awesome watching you on the kayak acknowledging the moment.. We had covid all of September and got to our cabin and kayaked part of the Pier Marquette River the first week of October.. Be well!! Thanks for this video going to learn more about the castle!

Hi Matt, I never knew about this castle or it even existed. So I want to thank you, for all these wonderful and beautiful video adventures you have taken to places, I most likely would have never seen. 😊

Looking south at 28:45 is Breakneck Ridge on the left and across the river to the right is Storm King Mtn., two great hiking areas. These days, my knees prevent the scramble up Breakneck but in the '70s we would do overnight backpacking trips further back on the ridge, before it was "illegal" to camp up there. Except for disco, the '70s were a good time... The Hudson Valley is stunningly beautiful; I'm glad you made the trip up, recorded your experience and shared it...a really great video.

That was fantastic all the workmanship that would go into those castles. Can you imagine trying to get food and furniture and everything over there? I guess what they did is had maids, and all those people live there all the time taking care of it all just thing to say.

It’s amazing although work that goes into those castles and then the day when building something was so much harder than today and they put all those things into the building. It’s just totally amazing. I guess it used to be out in the water where those other buildings are or structures are.😂😮

History right there for Milsurp's ......... Sad those days are over ....

I'm watching this video today on Halloween and it's an incredibly warm beautiful day and I can't help but wonder if you're out paddling today taking advantage of this unseasonably warm weather and preparing a Halloween special video for us your fans? 😁

Wow!!! Another inspiring location 😃 Looks amazingly beautiful man! This is great, thank you for posting and sharing. I love hearing the history as well. Great to see you in your kayak and back out on the water 🎉🎉🎉

That wet weather discharge point sign is a clue to what you were smelling. Despite several decades of effort to change things, we can’t escape the fact that sewage and storm runoff share the same plumbing, so when it pours... yep.

Saludos buenísimo amigo 👍

I actually appreciate your version of this tour rather than their version for $45 for only 30 mins on the land (minus the boat ride). It reads that in total is 2.5 hours. Thank you again for taking us with you .

Brings a fishing rod 😂😂😂 Love this channel!

Hey I viewed your video last night for the Bannerman Castle. Bravo it was great. I lived in the Hudson Valley near New Paltz/Kingston and never heard about this beautiful castle along the Hudson River. Cheers man!----just as a thought you might want to try the Mohonk Trail--it is a road carefully choregraphed for place for you to walk but there is a subset trail called Smiley's Tower---200 years ago it was a Fire Station for all the Shangunk Mountains (which are an extention of the the Appalachian trail) the Tower is a lighthouse for all the mountain ridges. You should look it up Smileys tower man its a beautiful place indeed. t

Btw the trains you were hearing are the metro north railroad

Great video did you do on the Hackensack river

Man those mountains in the background looked huge. Doesn't look like New York at all but I know it is.. was that breakwater once a stone bridge out to the portion of the castle

Stunning video 👍

Amazing sunset that, well done on capturing it. Ive had a few beautiful ones where I live in the UK, think I need to start filming them ! Great video have a nice week!

Really nice scenery. I had never seen the Hudson River Highlands before.

Wow what a beautiful day out on the river! Great video!

Beautiful locations

I lived close to the island as a boy. As a teen we would canoe to the island often. At that time there were no restrictions and the castle was accessible but in poor condition. We could camp there then. Lot's of fun times and some real questions back then as to what it was, who owned it etc. Glad to see that there are folks that are restoring and taking care of the place.

I've seen many Bannerman Castle videos on KZbin, but nothing like this one. Bro, you went in on this one. Props and respect to you!!!

Thanks for fitting this in. What a great jog. Well done. In the Beacon area there are also some great hiking trails if you want to explore, including the trail to the remains of the Cornish Estate.

Great adventure, as ever.

Beautiful spot Matt. Thanks.

Hell yeah! My neck of the woods. There is another island just north, near Hyde Park I have been wanting to camp on.

The Hudson River is the longest one in the state of New York.

Great video.. What a perfect weather day for that adventure. Didnt know there was a tour boat, sounds like fun.

Wow - how cool, Matt! I was just about 40 miles north of there - visiting in Catskill and Woodstock - about the time you were paddling.

I had never heard of this place....really cool. Thanks!!
