There's no signage at river level, but I'd still give the slope a wide berth when hiking in winter or heavy rain. (In better weather, all that scree makes for an easy ford, and in fact I'd just crossed dry-shod when I turned back to snap the picture.) In any case, I don't think there would be much controversy that the hazard exists, signed or not - and probably ought to be indicated. The place is close to the city of Schenectady, and many people come out unprepared for the conditions. Technical rescues are common, and every few years someone suffers a fatal fall or drowns. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin
