to enable access to the waterways of New York City for our local community.
We'll have canoe tours with views of Manhattan, tasty beverages and snacks on hand, and friends and neighbors gathering together on the shores of Newtown Creek.
The event runs 12-4. Tickets are available on Eventbrite for the earlier trips. The second half will be a combination of walk-up attendees and physical tickets. Please check back for more details!
At these free, informal paddles, North Brooklyn Community Boathouse welcomes walk-up participants to join trained NBCB guides for short trips on Newtown Creek and often out toward the East River, where we often pause to take in the view of Manhattan. Usually we take our new fleet of 29′ canoes. Everyone on the paddle works together under expert instruction to forge a unique NYC experience, seeing the city in a new way.
Public paddles are free and open to everyone. We especially hope to welcome our Greenpoint neighbors and members of other community organizations. Come down to our old boatyard at 51 Ash Street, right next to the Pulaski Bridge, and learn more about Greenpoint’s history, environmental challenges and successes, and residents.
All our voyages are led by certified trip leaders and include some of the best views of the city. This is a great way to check out the boatyard and get a chance to explore the local waterways. Paddling is free! And we serve beverages and other snacks. Our public paddles are child and pet friendly.
Please come join us at YOUR community boat club!
NBCB sincerely thanks the Greenpoint Community Environment Fund and the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for financial support for our Public Paddle series.
