4th of July History Paddle
Celebrate the 4th of July with a little bit of history and a lot of fun on the water! New York City’s Revolutionary War history is an often-overlooked part of our nation’s story. Gowanus, Red Hook and surrounding neighborhoods were home to key battles and events in that tale. Join us for a guided paddle that touches on some of that history and enjoy a special holiday trip on the harbor.

Logistics
Each canoe will have up to 3 people. Solo paddlers are welcome, you will be paired with other members of the group based on experience and comfort in a canoe. Wear sensible shoes (closed toes, flat soles recommended!) and wear clothing you don’t mind potentially being splashed. Use a restroom before arrival, as we have limited facilities on-site.
If raining or threatening weather (high winds, lightning) by 1:00pm we may cancel. Attendees will be notified via the email used to purchase tickets.
Tickets are nonrefundable for any event that proceeds as planned. We will offer the option to transfer your ticket to another event if we have to cancel for weather. Transfer must be requested before the tour starts. If you choose not to transfer, the cost of your ticket becomes a tax-deductible donation to the Gowanus Dredgers.
