We're proud to say that as of January 2010, the Clearwater organization is a member of the Saugerties Area Chamber of Commerce!

Clearwater is an authentic replica of the old Dutch sloops that carried cargo up and down the river. Launched in 1969, the sloop has an important education role. Every year, more than 12,000 school children and adults sail the Clearwater.

The Sloop Clearwater spends each winter docked at Lynch's Marina in Saugerties NY. Tourists are welcome.

This is the site of Clearwater, the environmental advocacy and educational organization that maintains and sails the Sloop Clearwater.

Clearwater annually conducts waterfront festivals attracting thousands of people for music, dance, folk arts, crafts and environmental education. The Great Hudson River Revival festival alone attracts up to 20,000 people each year.

The smaller shad, strawberry, corn, and pumpkin festivals arranged by our Sloop Clubs bring people to the river to celebrate the fruits of the Hudson Valley, and remind them that the vitality of the region is tied to the health of the environment. Seasonal harvest festivals provide enjoyment for local residents, opportunity for artists to perform and display their talent, and the chance for Clearwater to spread its message of environmental care to audiences that might not otherwise attend a slide show, field trip, or lecture.
