About this event
Weekend kayaking on the Hudson, free and open to anyone who can swim. The boathouse provides everything, keeps trips short so the queue keeps moving, and stations volunteers on the water. It is a low-commitment way to see Manhattan from the river without booking a tour or paying for a rental.
