According to the agency website: "Turkey Point is a 139+ acre State Forest in the Town of Saugerties in Ulster County, fronting on the Hudson River. Immediately to the South of Turkey Point is the County's Ulster Landing Park.
The gated road also provides for motorized access by people with disabilities who would otherwise have difficulty accessing the site. Individuals who have obtained the Department's Motorized Access Program for People with Disabilities (MAPPWD) Permit may call DEC's New Paltz office to open the gate by combination lock.
At the end of the road is a small parking lot with access paths leading to recreational features: a 200-foot wharf, formerly owned by the U.S. Coast Guard, that has been converted to an accessible fishing pier and an accessible hand launch on the Hudson River. The site is notable for its seclusion and shoreline access to the river's deep channel which is excellent for fishing many species, including Striped Bass (Morone Saxatilis).
Directions:
Follow State Route 32 to Ulster Landing Rd. (intersection is 4.5 miles south of the Esopus Creek in Saugerties and 2.8 miles north of the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge). Follow Ulster Landing Rd. for a half mile. Turn left on Flatbush Camp Rd. and proceed half a mile to state land. A small parking lot is just before the gated woods road at the intersection of Flatbush Camp Road and Turkey Point Road."
