A historical Schoharie Creek approach near Jewett
This Mosquito Point record describes the Schoharie Creek near a County Route 2 bridge reached from Route 23A. The description is not a current public bathing entrance, parking agreement or landowner permission. A name-only map match is not enough to settle the exact bank.
Confirm the parcel and the activity
Before travel, establish the precise access point, owner or manager and whether swimming is permitted there. DEC distinguishes the right to navigate a waterway from the right to cross private land to enter or leave it. Do not assume a road bridge gives access to adjoining banks.
Fishing rights are not a beach designation
Public fishing-rights information serves specific angling access. A fishing map label or bank easement does not establish bathing, picnicking or overnight use at this historical place. Check the exact activity instead of using an unrelated creek or access rule.
Do not improvise bridge parking or a descent
The old instruction to look below the bridge does not identify a present visitor lot, maintained trail or suitable exit. Do not stop where parking is unlawful, block a road or cross a posted bank. No current lifeguard, changing facility or accessible water approach is established here.
A practical alternative if access is uncertain
Select a named permitted park or shore outing before leaving home. Keep swimming out of the plan if the intended entrance cannot be confirmed. Do not jump from the bridge, dive, use rope swings or rely on clear water to assess depth and current.
Source scope
DEC water-access guidance and public fishing-rights information are context for the access check, not approval of this particular bank.
Getting There
The archive refers to a County Route 2 bridge reached from Route 23A near Jewett. Establish the exact bank owner, lawful parking and current bathing permission before visiting; do not use the old roadside instruction as a current entrance.
Quick Navigation
Access Notes
A bridge, named map point or fishing-access label does not establish private-bank crossing or swimming rights.
Plan Your Visit
Parking & Access
Confirm the entrance, parking arrangements, and legal access with the land manager. A map pin does not establish a public right of access. Follow posted routes and never block gates or driveways.
Regulations & Fees
Use authorized entrances and obey current notices. Do not jump, dive or use rope swings or natural rock slides. Public park access does not necessarily include permission to swim. Respect private property and posted restrictions.
Seasonality & Flow
Water conditions can change quickly. This listing does not provide a current safety or water-quality assessment. Check official alerts and avoid entering water when conditions or permission are uncertain.
Nearby Facilities
Nearby places from saved public map data, not necessarily facilities at the swimming spot. Confirm access, hours, fees, and amenities with the operator before you drive.

The archive describes Schoharie Creek at a County Route 2 bridge reached from Route 23A near Jewett. It does not establish a current authorized bathing entrance.
Can I park beside the bridge?

Do not assume so. Check the site owner’s activity permission rather than treating an angling easement as a beach designation.
