Event Series Event Series: Walk-Up Paddles

Free Walk-Up Paddling From 2nd St.

October 20 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm

COME PADDLE! Let’s show everyone how great it is to have access to the head of the canal! Help support our water access advocacy by using the canal and bringing friends! Stop down and launch a canoe for a self-guided paddle from our 2nd St. Dock. Limited to the head of the canal to the floating boom at 3rd. Free (donations encouraged). Please note, this activity is at our 2nd St. Boathouse!

Bring a friend and we’ll outfit you with equipment and give quick navigation instructions at the dock. Self-guided voyages can be limited to 15-20 min. if there’s a crowd but otherwise, we expect you to return to the dock 15 min. prior to closing.  Upon request, we will provide gloves and bags so you may remove trash found along the canal.  We launch from the dock at 2nd St. and it is first come, first served.

Weather (wind, waves or evidence of storm) may cancel programming with one hour advance notice. Meet at the Gowanus Dredgers Boathouse (165 2nd St, Brooklyn, NY 11231), wear sunscreen and bring a bottle filled with water. Close-toed shoes are recommended, and wear clothing you don’t mind potentially being splashed. All paddlers must sign a waiver, minors require guardian signature on site to authorize canoeing.
