PLEASE NOTE: We have two launch locations, the Boathouse at 165 2nd St. / off Bond St. and the Bunker at the end of 19th St. off of 3rd Ave. The starting place for each activity is listed with the event listing. In general, guided tours leave from 19th St. Walk-Up paddling may be at either location, depending on the current status of the work in the canal. It takes about 35 minutes to walk between the locations and about 10 minutes to drive. PLEASE CHECK the location to ensure you are not late to a timed tour. Trips can not be joined once the group leaves the dock.
[ Rain 30 min. Prior to start time may cancel event and dates +30 days in the future are subject to change ]

Public Paddling Days at Bush Terminal Park
July 27, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Demonstration Public Paddling Days at Bush Terminal Park
Saturday, July 27, noon to 4:00 PM
Saturday, August 24, noon to 4:00 PM
The Gowanus Dredgers, NYC Watertrail Association, and Red Hook Boaters
are presenting demonstration public paddling days at Bush Terminal Park
(in Sunset Park, Brooklyn) to show the Parks Department and other
stakeholders what’s possible if a boathouse is located at this unique
location and if it’s made into an official NYC kayak and canoe launch
site. They’re planning on having a mixed fleet of sit-on-top kayaks and
canoes, along with a wooden rowing dory, available for use on a
first-come, first-served basis.
