About this event
September weekends are the quiet stretch of the kayaking season, with warmer water and shorter queues than August. The Downtown Boathouse still lends kayaks, paddles and vests free of charge from its dock north of Pier 26, running short supervised paddles inside a buoyed area of the Hudson.
