About MHRA

Mid Hudson Rowing Association (MHRA), founded in 1950, is a not-for-profit rowing club located in Poughkeepsie, NY. MHRA welcomes a diverse membership and is dedicated to upholding equity, inclusion, and anti-racist principles. Our mission is to promote safe practices for adult and scholastic rowing and to provide opportunities to enjoy the natural and scenic beauty of the Hudson River.

MHRA operates from the HRRA Community Boat House at 272 North Water Street, Poughkeepsie, NY. Club boats include singles, doubles, a quad, fours, and eights. The typical on-water rowing season is April through early November, weather and water conditions permitting, and the club offers several coached sessions weekly.

Indoor training sessions are held through the late fall, winter, and early spring. Learn to row, sculling clinics, coxswain and coach training programs are offered annually.

MHRA is comprised of passionate rowers with experience levels novice to seasoned who love socializing as much as we love being on the water. Members are also dedicated volunteers, and we are fortunate to have an exceptional team of coaches, coxswains, and Board Members, all integral parts of the MHRA community.

Club members also enjoy social events year-round, including potluck dinners, riverside breakfasts, extended rows with brunch, and various fundraising events. Monthly boathouse and equipment clean-up typically includes a riverside pancake breakfast or potluck brunch.
